About the Item

Late 19th Century Banded Agate Wax Seal with Gothic Monogram A fine antique desk seal dating to the late 19th century. The tapering handle is cut from banded blue agate, exhibiting subtle natural striations and a polished finish. It is mounted on a silvered brass base, the matrix engraved with a gothic-style monogram, likely a personal cipher. Elegant and refined, this seal would once have been used to mark correspondence in wax — a practical and decorative object with enduring appeal.
