A rare late medieval silver signet ring, dating to the 15th/16th century, featuring a finely incised fleur-de-lys within a decorative border of foliate scrolls.Crafted in solid silver, the ring is substantial in form and weight (11.27g), with a broad D-section hoop tapering from a 16mm circular bezel to 5mm at the back. The face of the ring is engraved with a central fleur-de-lys — a symbol with deep heraldic and devotional significance during the late medieval and early Renaissance period. Associated both with the Virgin Mary and with French monarchy, the fleur-de-lys was widely used in England and across continental Europe in personal seals, ecclesiastical contexts, and family crests.The design is framed by sinuous scrollwork that echoes late Gothic and early Renaissance ornament. The engraving is worn in places, softened by centuries of handling, but still clearly legible and well balanced in execution. This ring likely functioned as a private seal.UK ring size P½ (US size 7.75). The ring has a pleasing tarnished patina and remains in very good, wearable condition, with surface wear consistent with age but no structural issues.An excellent example of late medieval personal adornment, rich in symbolism.
