Floral wax seal

A late 19th century brass desk seal with a domed cap and a slender handle covered in cast daisy-like blossoms, with a plain oval cartouche at the center and a ribbed, gadrooned foot. The engraved face carries a single Gothic letter “B” in a flourished script, cut in reverse so it prints correctly in wax. In the era of sealing wax a person's seal was their signature, and initial seals like this were made for their original owner.

Ready to use, it makes a crisp impression in wax. Lovely lined up in a dish with other seals or kept on a writing desk. Please note the brass has a warm, aged patina as pictured.
