A very nice and large example in very good condition. This coat of arms has been attributed to Jacob Pelgrom, a trader who climbed to become Director General of Bengal (India). He was a Huguenot from Rouen who fled Amsterdam and in 1688 went to the East Indies. His main career was in Bengal which started in 1689. In 1698 he was appointed to be second director of Bengal en from 1701 to 1705 was first director of this trading post. From 1708 onwards he lived in Batavia where he has several official functions until his death in 1713, such as ontvanger-generaal (head of tax department)
