Antique 19th Century Lacquer Stamp

Antique 19th century wax stamp

This elegant antique wax seal stamp dates to the late 19th century and was crafted in France. Made of bronze, it features a finely detailed handle in the form of a griffin’s claw clutching a sphere, a striking motif typical of the decorative craftsmanship of the period.

The seal matrix is engraved with a monogram composed of the letters Z and A, suggesting that it was once used as a personal seal for correspondence and official documents.

Rich in character and historical charm, this piece would make a wonderful addition to a cabinet of curiosities, writing desk, or collection of antique seals and decorative objects. A charming and decorative example of 19th century French craftsmanship.

After more than a century, the stamp remains in good antique condition and displays expected signs of age and use. The bronze has acquired a beautiful oxidized patina over the years, enhancing its authenticity and appeal. The fine details of the griffin claw and engraved monogram remain clearly visible.
