Summary
Photograph of a metal signet ring: engraved on its bezel is a shield bearing a heart, topped by a helm and surrounded by mantling.
Why this document matters
The same heart appears on the painted arms “Si fortune me tourmente l’espérance me contente”, presented as those of his family, and in the centre of La Réveillée’s 1997 label: a thread between Claude Martin’s family objects and his de Robert origins.
Read with caution
- Which family bears the shield with the heart? On the 1997 label, by elimination, the de Robert family; but the “de Robert family” arms published by La Réveillée are different (chevron, pomegranates, stars and crescent). To be clarified with the association.
