Wax Seals Classification Method

In this section you can find the list of seals in the collection with their rating

Black        Gold        Green        Orange        Masterpieces        Silver/Metal        Wax Cases        White        Wood

Each seal stamp in the collection is evaluated according to five criteria reflecting both its artistic qualities and its historical interest.
Each criterion receives a score from 1 to 3 points, for a maximum possible total of 15 points:

Beauty of the handle - Aesthetic quality, material, and craftsmanship.

Quality of the engraving - Beauty of the arms, finesse, clarity, and artistic execution.

Importance of the family - Historical or social significance of the family to whom the seal belonged.

Quality of available information - Quantity and reliability of information that can be found about the family.

Rarity of the seal - How frequently similar seals are encountered.

 

The points obtained for these five criteria are added together to produce a total score between 5 and 15 points.

This score is then converted into a "Heart Rating", from 1 to 5 hearts.
To obtain the score, the total number of points is divided by three and rounded.
The heart rating therefore provides a simple visual summary of the overall interest of each seal, combining artistic quality,
historical significance, documentation, and rarity.
