FAQs

Wax seals have been used since ancient times to authenticate documents, authenticate correspondence, and secure private communications. By the Victorian and Edwardian eras, desk seals became popular personal accessories featuring intricate monograms, family crests, and decorative handles crafted from precious metals and organic materials like amber.

Traditional desk seals were crafted using a combination of metals such as sterling silver, brass, or gold for the matrix or collar, paired with handles carved from amber, ivory, bone, hardstones, or exotic woods.

Authenticity is typically verified by examining hallmarks on the silver collar or base, the quality of hand-carved matrix lettering or monograms, and natural aging characteristics such as patina on the metal and microscopic crazing or inclusions in organic handle materials.

An antique wax seal can be displayed as a decorative object on a desk surface, styled within a vignette alongside leather-bound books, or arranged in a shallow glass display box on a bookshelf to add historic character to a contemporary workspace.

Preservation requires storing items away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations to protect organic materials like amber. Silver components should be cleaned gently with a soft microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical dips that could damage surrounding materials.
