19th Century Exquisite Silver Desk Seal with Monogram Matrix
A beautiful and refined antique silver desk wax seal, dating from the 19th century.
The seal features an elegant baluster-shaped handle decorated with embossed acanthus leaves and classical floral patterns. The circular matrix is finely engraved with a distinct, clean monogram letter "M" featuring subtle textured shading within the lines. Included is a red wax impression showcasing the deep and highly defined signature it leaves behind.
Composition: Made of solid silver (silver fineness hallmarks are stamped on the lower rim of the base, indicating official assay verification). The piece has developed a beautiful dark tarnish over time, highlighting the relief work.
Condition: Excellent antique condition. The structural body is entirely sound, retaining its original elegant shape without dents. The hallmarks on the rim are partially visible under magnification, and the engraving on the matrix remains sharp and perfect for continued use.
