Antique French Wax Seal Stamp with Turned Wood Handle & Engraved Monogram

This antique wax seal stamp features a substantial turned wood handle in a warm honey tone, fitted into a brass collar above a dark steel die. The face is engraved with an ornate interlaced monogram, ready to press a distinctive impression into wax. Standing 3.75" tall, it has a wonderful heft and patina from age, equally at home in use on a desk or displayed as part of a collection. Sources in Paris.
