guardian angels antique armorial wax seal - antique desk wax seal
Make an impression with this lovely guardian angels French armorial desk wax seal. There are four winged angel faces around the shield and the one at the top has a halo. Within the shield are 3 crosses and three towers? and the desk seal dates back to the 18th century.
So much mystery but I'll leave the enjoyment of the research to you.
