Antique seals - Fleur-de-lis and sealed envelope

Antique board of wax seals featuring five impressions alongside a stamped envelope bearing two red seals and the handwritten mention "d'Orléans". A large seal with silvery highlights dominates the composition, featuring three fleurs-de-lis beneath a crown and a richly ornate border. A black impression with a crowned shield and a burgundy seal with two conjoined coats of arms complete this set. The contrast of the waxes, the antique handwriting, and the blue stamp give this board a unique presence. A collection to frame that brings together the charm of old-fashioned correspondence and the beauty of heraldic designs.
