Object of the Month \u2013 January, 2026<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Every month the Museum of the Oldest Appellation in the World highlights one of the many objects that are part of the collection shown in our permanent exhibition. Come and discover the object of the month and find out more about our history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the year in which Real Companhia celebrates its 270th anniversary, we selected an object\nwith symbolism that represents the first phase of the company, as a chartered company. This\ngilded cartouche is contemporary with the founding of Real Companhia Velha, in the 18th\ncentury. As the Company was founded by royal charter by King D. Jos\u00e9 I, several items from\nits initial period bear the royal arms, a symbol of its majestic past. This piece comes from the\nold Casa da Companhia, located on Rua das Flores, in Porto, where the company\u2019s first\nheadquarters was located until 1961.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cartouche is on display in the third area of the exhibition route at the Museum of Oldest\nAppellation in the World. An area that highlights, through its narrative, assets and interactive\nsupports, the privileges, obligations and statutes of Real Companhia Velha, which is the oldest\nPortuguese company with uninterrupted activity in the country. Comprising a period between\nits foundation in 1756 and 1834 (the year that it lost its privileges, with the arrival of\nliberalism in Portugal).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
