Antique Victorian era multiple wax seal wheel desk stamp. The handle is crafted from solid rose quartz stone, tapering to a brass wheel with various seal matrices. The extraordinary part of this piece is the stunning black and white sardonyx hardstone cameo that adorns the base of the handle. Depicting the side profile of a dog, beautifully rendered and so lifelike. I imagine this was a loyal companion to the original owner of the seal wheel, what a lovely and long lasting tribute to “man’s best friend”! In overall good antique condition with general wear commensurate with use and age. Measures 2 1/4″ length x 1″ diameter front of the wheel x 15/16 diameter at the cameo end. An exquisite piece and just perfect for collectors and jewelry makers wanting to use these prized seal sets and wheels for the making of pendants and rings. The matrices measure 7/16 diameter and are as follows. Depicting a rooster under the words WHILE I LIVE I’LL CROW. Depicting a heart in hand surrounded by the words LOVE and TRUTH. An image of a loyal dog under the word FAITHFUL. Depicting two hearts tied together under the words FOR LOVE. Shamrock surrounded by the Gaelic words ERIN GO BRAGH. An image of a rider on a horse. The central intaglio is of amethyst glass, depicting a flower with the words Forget Me Not. Welcome to the Antique Boutique.
