GOLD SEALING WAX CASE WITH INTEGRATED SEAL, France, second half of the 18th century Yellow, red, and green 750 gold, 50 g. Rare gold case with an integrated seal, designed for storing sealing wax and sealing letters and documents.

The seal at the base is engraved with an alliance coat of arms beneath a coronet, framed by laurel branches. 2 French hallmarks, likely a helmeted head (Paris, 1768–1774) and a lyre (Paris, 1780–1782).
