Antique Collection: 10 Vintage French Handwritten Letters Envelopes 1901-1910 Beautiful Calligraphy Paris Hotel History Ephemera Lot

This collection contains 14 antique French envelopes from the early 1900s, sent from the commune of Doullens to a notary clerk named Monsieur Roque in Amiens. The correspondence represents a tight window of local postal history during the Belle Époque era, with most covers neatly preserved with their original contents missing but addresses intact.The envelopes feature iconic French definitive stamps, most notably the red and carmine variations of Oscar Roty's famous Sower design in 10-centime and 15-centime values. Several older covers in the stack utilize the classic Type Sage series, including a double-franking of two green 5-centime stamps and isolated red 10-centime denominations. These stamps are tied directly to the paper by clear, circular "Doullens Somme" postmarks, which greatly elevates their value to philatelic collectors who prefer intact historical transit markings over loose stamps.
