About the Item
Perhaps the finest and rarest desk seal we have had in our collection to date is this Regency period, 18 karat yellow gold, amethyst and citrine example. The handle of the piece is crafted from a piece of finely faceted and tapered citrine. The base of the seal is rendered in 18 karat yellow gold that could be described as 'repousse' in style, with a delicate floral motif throughout. This gold work encases the matrix of the seal, which has been left blank and comprises of a single piece of polished amethyst. Why the matrix has been left blank is a mystery, however it allows the next custodian of the seal the opportunity to have their own initials or crest engraved. In remarkably fine condition for its age, the piece exhibits some very very minor fleabites to the handle, commensurate with age and use. An extremely fine example of a 19th Century desk seal which would have come from a very fine house indeed.

Edward I. Farmer Inkwell in Sterling Silver, Fluorite and Amethyst
Located in Brisbane City, QLD
A monumental inkwell by New York identity, Edward I. Farmer. The piece consists of a large piece of carved fluorite and a carved amethyst finial which has all been set in sterling silver. The mount for these carved stones is elaborate with a floral motif to the foot and decorative engraved borders on each rim of the piece. The internal sterling silver 'well' is removable for cleaning and polishing. The inkwell is in lovely condition, however appears to have some signs of old stabilisation to the fluorite which has slightly yellowed over time. These stabilisations could very well be from when the piece was formed as an inkwell, with Farmer often using stones of age.
Edward I. Farmer was a prominent American art dealer, antique trader...
