Description from the seller
Set of three seal stones in banded agate – 19th century
Superb set of three antique agate seals with banded agate, each showcasing exceptional natural veining.
19th-century work, typical of workshops specializing in the cutting of precious stones (France / Germany).
Large seal (6 cm) in ribbon agate – monogram 'C / J'
Agate with very aesthetic circular banding, perfect polishing.
Metal matrix engraved with a monogram CJ (also readable as GJ, depending on the angle — but C / J remains the most coherent reading).
Sculpted piece from a single block, with a very elegant classicist silhouette.
Faceted seal (5.7 cm) in ribbon agate – monogram 'N. D.'
Brown / honey / black ribboned agate, faceted (a rarer craftsmanship).
Octagonal matrix engraved with the monogram N.D.
Impeccable polishing, regular geometry. Slight lack of material on one face (photos).
Small agate ribboned stamp (4cm) with metal frame – blank matrix.
Large brown agate with a broad transverse white band.
Vintage metal case from the period, non-engraved matrix (rare in very good condition).
Ideal for customization or decorative use.
General characteristics
Material: banded agate (three distinct varieties)
Period: 19th century
Matrix:
2 engraved (monograms)
One vierge
Condition: excellent; intact polishings, clear dies, no visible cracks, slight loss of material on one side of the stamp 2.
Interest in the lot
A very beautiful, homogeneous, decorative, sought-after set by collectors of 19th-century seals and office objects.
Banded agates with circular and faceted patterns are particularly appreciated.
The presence of a blank seal enhances the interest of the lot.
