Antique Wax Seal Stamp with Monogram "RR" – Napoleon III Era Elegance - 19th Ct:
$80.00

Discover a piece of 19th-century refinement with this exquisite antique wax seal stamp, featuring the monogram “RR.” A fine example of Napoleon III-era craftsmanship, this seal embodies the timeless elegance and attention to detail characteristic of that period.

The handle is fashioned in black lacquered wood, a hallmark of the era's design, providing a striking contrast to the solid brass base. The brass stamping plate is intricately engraved with the monogram “RR,” which would create a distinguished impression on any wax seal.

This seal weighs approximately 0.19 lbs (87 grams), stands at 3.74 inches (9.5 cm) tall, with a diameter of 1.18 inches (3 cm) at the base. Its balanced weight and size make it a pleasure to hold and use, ideal for both practical applications and decorative purposes.

Historical Context and Use: Wax seals were an essential tool of correspondence during the 19th century, used to secure and authenticate letters, documents, and invitations. This particular piece, with its understated black-and-brass color palette, was likely owned by an individual of stature or a family with a sense of prestige. Even today, its timeless design allows it to serve as an elegant addition to your desk, lending a personal touch to modern-day correspondence or invitations.

Why This Piece Stands Out:

Timeless Elegance: The black lacquered wooden handle and brass base reflect a style that transcends eras, making this piece just as relevant today as it was over 150 years ago.

Functional and Decorative: Whether you use it to seal letters, embellish wedding invitations, or display it as a conversation piece, this wax seal stamp adds sophistication to any occasion.

A Rare Find: Napoleon III-era seals with monograms are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts for their craftsmanship and history.

Condition: This antique seal is in excellent condition for its age, with minor wear consistent with its use and history. The brass monogram plate remains sharp and ready for use, while the lacquered handle retains its original luster.

Shipping and Handling: Carefully packaged to preserve its integrity, this unique piece will ship promptly upon purchase. It will be shipped via certified letter, which includes a proof of postage, tracking until delivery to the recipient's address, delivery against the recipient's signature and integrated insurance.

Add a Touch of History to Your Collection! Don’t miss the chance to own this beautiful antique wax seal stamp. A timeless relic of 19th-century refinement, it promises to elevate the charm of your correspondence and décor.
