Description from the seller

Ancient heraldic seal in metal and wood – armorial matrix with lions – 18th/19th century

Wax seal composed of a turned patinated wooden handle, mounted on a circular metal matrix.

The matrix features a finely engraved heraldic motif: a central shield charged with a cross motif (or stylized saltire), supported by two facing lions, in a rich ornamental surround (scrollwork and stylized crown). The whole evokes a blazon of noble or bourgeois tradition.

Beautiful imprint visible on the red wax, allowing appreciation of the quality of engraving and the depth of relief.

Matrix dimensions: 2.5 cm x 2 cm

Condition: normal wear, homogeneous patina, readability preserved

Provenance: Private collection.
