Very nice set of 2 stamps * old wax, representing the arms of the Marquis de la Houssaye.

These seals are in good condition, they suffered the uses of time. A report: wear and crack use see photos, one of the seals is damaged.

* In the Middle Ages, the seal, in addition to ensuring the confidentiality of a message, also testified to its authenticity. It was made by a wax seal stamp printed by the ground too complicated to be reproduced with certainty. Each city and noble families had their seals with their arms.

We further wax seals of this collection for sale on this site.
