AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Pair of Italian seals for sealing wax in 800 silver, of refined craftsmanship and characterized by a rich baroque-style decoration.

The larger stamp features an elaborately decorated handle with scrolls, vegetal and floral motifs, as well as a distinctive grotesque mask at the lower part. In the center there is an elegant oval cartouche, lacking any visible inscription, framed by a rich ornamentation.

The smaller stamp, elongated and tapered, is adorned with refined foliate motifs and scrolls along the entire handle. The oval matrix bears the initials “R.S.”, incised in an elegant cursive font, with a dot separating the two letters. The engraving, made on the matrix, was intended for producing the corresponding wax seal.

Both pieces preserve a natural silver patina, with slight signs of use and aging consistent with their nature and antiquity.
