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 is a Georgian gilt seal set with a white stone which has a coded message. These fun seals were used by the Georgians when writing letters as a little nod or wink to the comings and goings of the recipient and tended to be tongue in cheek and a bit gossipy& confuse anyone who wasn’t in on the joke..
This seal has a white stone with an intaglio of an eye (I), Britannia (hope) and the words “to see you soon”
The seal measures 20mm x 13mm and is in 90% mint condition – there are signs of wear on the shank and stone
