Collection of antique seals - Wax coats of arms and heraldry

Antique board of fifteen wax seals, combining crowned coats of arms with an impression depicting a profile portrait. Shades of bright red, brick, and burgundy highlight the diversity of formats and designs. Several seals feature shields surrounded by scrolls or accompanied by animals, notably the large red seal on the bottom row. The portrait, placed in the center on a circular backing, adds a unique touch to this composition. Mounted on small papers with handwritten captions, these impressions form a decorative set to be framed or displayed in a collection dedicated to the arts of writing.
