Sheet of seals - Large antique red wax seals

Antique red wax seal board featuring fifteen impressions, with several large formats that give the piece a striking presence. Vermilion and burgundy shades complement a variety of motifs: crowned shields, conjoined coats of arms, heraldic ornaments, and circular legends. The bottom row is distinguished by three large wax fields, bearing impressions of varying sizes, including a seal with the inscription "Ville de Bourges." In the center, a large armorial seal mounted on round paper structures the composition. Handwritten annotations and mounting papers add to the charm of this collection, perfect for framing.
