Illuminated Ketubah on Parchment – Bordeaux, 1767
Ketubah recording the marriage of Israel ben Nathan Shalom Astruc with the bride Velon Sarah daughter of Yehoshua Naquet. Bordeaux, France. Eve of Succot, [October 1767].
Ketubah on parchment. Surrounding the Ketubah text is an elaborate frame with rich floral ornamentations: flowers, branches and leaves in bright green and red.
On the lower part a legal inscription in French is added. Groom's signature in French and Hebrew (blurred), signatures of witnesses in French and a signature in Hebrew: "David ben Ya'akov Haim Atias".
40.5X30 cm. Good condition. Minor stains and damages. Text is faded in some places. In a nice passé par-tout.
