ABOUT:
Beautiful antique Art Nouveau solid silver wax seal / stamp.  It has pretty Art Nouveau designs Iris flowers and leaves on both sides.  Ornate engraving on the bottom of the seal of initials that I can't decipher.  Comes as seen in its original box with the old label of the retailer inside the lid of the box.  Neat to see an original antique in its original packaging.
Even the seam where the front and back sides were affixed together are hand engraved with linear designs to mask that seam.
Antique piece that I acquired in France from the Belle Epoque era. The piece is solid silver.  It is hallmarked with the boar's head hallmark and also has a silversmith mark I could not identify.
Measures 2 1/2 inches tall.  It weighs 29 grams although I don't know if the handle might be filled with a stabilizer.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
Please note that all my pieces are pre-owned with some age to them so they are in estate condition.   The piece looks like it was hardly used.  A few scuffs and scratches otherwise, a few nicks from use.  A nice patina and not a lot of wear.   A few stubborn tarnish spots.  Please note that due to age this is not in mint condition.
I would be delighted if you'd follow me in my store.  Thanks for stopping by!
