Description from the seller
Antique silver wax seal – monogram “JD” – late 18th / early 19th century
Elegant wax seal in silvered metal (probably silver or a silvered alloy), with an openwork handle featuring a restrained stirrup-style design.
The oval matrix is finely engraved with an interlaced monogram, rendered in broad calligraphic swirls, typical of the late 18th century or early 19th century. The background shows a hand-textured finish, revealing high-quality artisanal engraving.
This type of seal was intended for personal use, probably for the correspondence of a private individual or a notable person.
The openwork handle with a top ring facilitates handling, sometimes intended to be hung from a writing desk.
Beautiful antique patina, wear regular and coherent with its age.
Matrix dimensions: 2 cm × 1.5 cm
Condition: normal wear, homogeneous patina, legibility preserved
Provenance: Private collection.
