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 an early gilt metal seal with a round base set with a dull orange stone. The stone is engraved with the intaglio of a letter and this still works well with wax
The domed base has milled detailing and a strut handle
The seal measures 25mm high x 15mm wide and is in 90% mint condition – the stone and the gilding are dull but this is still a charming little seal
