This is seal was designed to be used with hot wax for sealing letters.

I have made an impression of this seal using hot wax to show that the seal works as intended and also to give a clearer image of the intaglio.

The wax impression comes in a small plastic case and is included with the seal.

This seal has a dull shank and a stone which is marked and scratched but still provides a decent wax impression – the wear is reflected in the price

This is a gilt Georgian seal

The seal has an oval base with a dull opaque stone

The stone is engraved an intaglio of a classical figure

The shank is decorated with a carved base and carved strut handle.

The seal is topped with a suspension loop.

The seal measures 31mm x 19mm x 14mm 

The seal is in 70% mint condition – dull finish on the shank and wear on the stone.
