Antique board of wax seals featuring fifteen impressions in a palette of mauve, copper pink, grey-green, deep blue, cream, and silver highlights. Crowned shields and heraldic compositions sit alongside interlaced monograms, notably on the cream seal in the bottom row. A large mauve impression and several seals in metallic shades give this collection its decorative character. The variations in size, color, and relief create a set that is particularly pleasant to observe. Mounted on small papers accompanied by handwritten captions, these seals are perfect for framing to highlight their hues and details.
