全部拍賣 / Medals, Arms & Armor / King Frederik VIII. of Denmark - Danish Royal Honour Certificate - 1909
A representative Danish royal certificate from the brief reign of Frederick VIII, equipped with a large state coat of arms, calligraphic print, blind embossed seal, and the original signatures of the royal chancery, issued for a member of a prominent Danish officer family. Frederick VIII (1843–1912). Royal appointment or decoration certificate for Torben Johan Wörishöffer. Printed and handwritten-form text on sturdy paper, dated Gråsten Palace (Castle Gravenstein), February 10, 1909. Double-sided folio page, ca. 34 × 42 cm, with a large printed royal coat of arms, decorative calligraphic heading, a large blind embossed seal on a laid cover sheet, and several autographs of the royal administration. The certificate concerns Torben Johan Wörishöffer (born 1870), a Danish professional officer and chamber page. Wörishöffer descended from a well-known officer family: His grandfather Philipp Wörishöffer (1804–1892) rose to lieutenant general and was among the Danish commanders during the Schleswig War and the First Schleswig War of 1864. He was eventually awarded the Grand Cross of the Order of the Dannebrog. The present certificate thus documents not only a royal honor or appointment, but also a station in the career of an officer from a family long closely associated with the Danish military across several generations. The certificate begins with the royal titulature of Frederick VIII as King of Denmark and Duke of Schleswig, Holstein, Stormarn, Dithmarschen, Lauenburg and Oldenburg. It then awards Torben Johan Wörishöffer for his dutiful and long-standing service with a royal merit order. The text ends with a ceremonial commendation of his loyalty to the Crown and Fatherland. On the reverse are further handwritten administrative notes as well as confirmation of handover. What is noteworthy is the issue with the large-format state coat of arms, the elaborate typography, and the preserved blind emboss seal, as is typical for high-quality Danish state documents from the early 20th century. Documents of this kind combine historical significance with strong decorative effect and are sought-after testimonies of the Scandinavian monarchy. Overall well-preserved exemplar with the usual centerfolds and minor signs of use, the blind emboss seal is fully intact, and the calligraphic as well as printed elements are clear and striking."
