Georgian Intaglio with a PUTTI / Cherub intaglio c1810

Code: AM159

SOLD

This is an unmounted intaglio.

It is made of glass and was designed to be used with hot wax for sealing letters.

I have made an impression of this intaglio using hot wax to show that the intaglio 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 purchase of this piece

 

Please note this is a very small stone. Perfect for mounting in a ring however.

This is an unmounted intaglio and is made from a tiny rectangular piece of red glass. The stone is larger on the top and smaller on the base

The stone is engraved with an intaglio of a seated cherub or putti playing the lyre

The stone measures 8mm x 6.4mm on the intaglio side, the base is 6.6mm x 5mm and the stone is 2.3mm deep and is in 95% mint condition – superb condition
