About this item
This is seal was designed to be used with hot wax for sealing letters.
I have made an impression of this seal using hot wax to show that the seal works as intended and also to give a clearer image of the intaglio.
The wax impression comes in a small plastic case and is included with the seal.
This is a beautiful fob.
It is a charm size and perfect to put on a charm bracelet or add to a few more pieces to make an interesting pendant
The gilt seal has a multi sided carved base set with a green stone. The stone is engraved with the intaglio of rose and the words in French “Heureux Qui te Cuillera” – this translates as “Happy who you picked” This of course could be from an intended or a jilted lover, depending on a question mark or two?
The seal has a carved base and a strut handle topped with a suspension loop
The seal measures 22mm x 12mm and is in 85% mint condition – light wear only but the suspension ring looks replaced to me.
