Description from the seller
Antique seal in brass alloy and cornelian – France, second half of the 19th century
Finely crafted office plaque featuring a very dense relief decoration in the Neoclassical / Louis XVI style: garlands, acanthus leaves, flutes, and a central floral medallion.
The modeling is deep and clear, typical of French craftsmanship from the mid-19th century.
The summit is adorned with a perfectly polished cabochon of natural carnelian, with a clear and uniform orange-red color.
The matrix (in golden brass) bears a monogram engraved backwards, intended for the imprint:
Letter 'O' (Gothic style) alone, stylized and surrounded by scrolls.
Dimensions: height: 9 cm - matrix dimensions: 3 × 2.5 cm
Condition: very good overall condition. Small signs of use consistent with age. Gilding well preserved. Stone intact. No structural dents.
High-quality decorative cachet, heavy to hold, perfectly suitable for wax.
Provenance: Private collection.
