The Collection

The antique seals are regrouped in various sections, making it easy to explore the collection

Griffin collection.

Collecting seals is also safeguarding family history...

Antique wax sealing stamps vary widely in shape, material, and decoration, often reflecting the rank, profession, or personal taste of their original owners. The seals in this collection are accompanied by a personal appreciation scale, a score expressed in hearts. This classification only reflects my own aesthetic judgment and personal taste, which visitors may appreciate sometimes very differently. It is not intended as a historical or professional evaluation.​

I could have kept my collection entirely to myself. Instead, I chose to share it with others. My only intention is to convey my passion for these remarkable objects and, I hope, inspire many more people to safeguard antique seals...

​* Questionable seals, whether fantasy pieces, imitations, or modern engravings presented as antiques by some sellers, may be placed in a lower score category even when they are visually attractive. I must admit that I sometimes knowingly acquire such pieces, particularly when they relate to interesting families.​
