Wax seal in ivory and yellow gold, France, 19th century

Total weight: 71 g
The upper part of the handle has an almost cylindrical shape, slightly flattened on the sides, while the lower part is decorated with a series of concentric circles that harmoniously elongate the silhouette. The base, crafted in yellow gold, is finely adorned with masterfully chased foliate scroll motifs, characteristic of the decorative elegance of French artistry of the period. The seal, likely engraved on jadeite, bears a heraldic coat of arms, suggesting a noble or upper-bourgeois patronage.

Total height: 9.3 cm
Height x width base: 2.3 x 2 cm
