Cloth Seal, French, Lyon, Teisserenc Cadet

Cloth Seal, French, Lyon, Teisserenc Cadet, Image & Found by Heidi Jonkman.
Found in Belgium, 15mm.

Arms of Lyon (3 fleurs-de-lis above lion rampant) // 2 fleurs-de-lis / TEISSEREN(C) / CADET / fleur-de-lis

From Paul Cannon, "The arms are those of the city of Lyon. ... the other face reads TEISSERENC / CADET ie Teisserenc the younger. Sabatier does not record this seal precisely. However, he does describe a Lyon seal containing the names ‘Chaix et Teisserenc’. His discussion of this seal contains the following “Gilles Teisserenc, place des Cordeliers, fut maître-garde en 1780. Il est sans doute le mème que Teisserenc cadet, marchande de bas, place des Cordeliers, maison Duclaud, signalé dans l`Indicat alphabetique de 1789”. Teisserenc the younger was therefore a silk stockings merchant (?and manufacturer) in the latter part of the 18th century. Lyon had a very significant silk/stockings industry at this time.
