Description

Czar of Russia (born 1796) who reigned from 1825 until his death in 1855. By crushing the Decembrist Uprising, he confirmed the autocracy of czarist rule, but disastrous losses in the Crimean War marked the collapse of his foreign and domestic policies. Czar Nicholas I's large white paper and wax seal on an off-white 8 x 4.5 slip. Seal measures 3.25″ in diameter. In fine condition, with uniform toning to seal and light wear.
