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 gilt metal seal made circa 1850
The seal has a square base set with an opaque creamy orange glass stone. This is carved with a beautiful intaglio of a bird flying over a ship
The seal has a carved base and a strut handle terminating in a suspension loop.
The seal measures 27mm high x 16mm x 14mm on the base.
The seal is in 85% mint condition – the gilding has mostly worn away around the base but the wear is reflected in the price
