Description from the seller

Ancient signet matrix in silvered metal, probably 18th–19th century, mounted on a pierced stem with a trilobed Gothic-style decoration.

The engraving depicts a heraldic or symbolic ship, with several masts and sails, treated in a spirit close to the old maritime arms or merchant guilds.

A fine-quality intaglio engraving, intended for impression in wax. Very decorative collectible object, akin to civil or merchant seal matrices.

Good overall condition with wear and usage irregularities consistent with age.

Dimensions: Height 2.8 cm

Provenance: Private collection.

The photos are an integral part of the object's description and complement its presentation. They allow appreciating its condition and features. Please examine them carefully before any commitment.

The item will be carefully packed and shipped with tracking number, to ensure fast and secure delivery.
