Sourced from French collections, this antique wax seal features a crest that typically signifies a family crest or a symbol of an individual of very high standing.

Sometimes, after centuries, such antique seals find their way to new collectors, allowing their emblems to be imbued with new meaning.
For instance, while this is a family crest,
what captures my attention are the pair of lions and the crown.
Especially the lions' manes, rendered with such lifelike detail.
Lions themselves symbolize the king of beasts, supremacy, immense power, and authority.
In Venice, the winged lion specifically represents...
And the crown signifies victory, honor, and uniqueness.
Therefore, this antique crest, in my eyes, is given a fresh perspective and holds a special significance.

I once had a friend born under the Leo sign who specifically sought out antique seals with lion motifs to collect.
This is what gives antique wax seals a new meaning for collectors.
This is also where collecting antiques feels personal and warm.
