An antique wax seal with a silver-plated handle, cast in a graceful Louis XVI taper with delicate laurel swags, a palmette crest, and a winged neoclassical motif running the length of the shaft. The plating carries the soft, worn glow that only comes with age and handling. The matrix is engraved with the monogram MC, ready to press its mark into wax. A lovely object for a writing desk, whether kept for the form alone or set out among letters and old books.
Measurements: 3 3/8"
