Selling off my own lifelong collections now. A fine 19th century French wax seal, sceau, of hand carved Dieppe ivory and sterling silver. The steel matrix is engraved and the monogram will print D M F.  Beautiful old thing, full measurements are noted on the photos.

Very good condition for age and type, no breaks, no chips. A scratch or possibly fine shrinkage hairline there on the top of the seal. The silver housing for the steel matrix is in excellent form, too. Very pretty little treasure! 

IMPORTANT NOTE regarding antique tortoise shell or ivory: We are great supporters of protection for endangered species in our modern world. We never buy or sell anything 100 years or newer; we donate to anti-poaching organizations; we don't hunt; we conserve in ways that impact global warming (we're totally solar at home), knowing those measures also protect the animals in the wild today. We also recognize the vast cultural history we preserve with our care and reverence for these antique objects, and agree with CITES that objects over 100 years of age have nothing whatsoever to do with species depletion in our current world.

Our offering exceeds the age limitation of "more than 100 years of age", and is well within the exemption for CITES regulation. If imported, met the CITES regulation. This item will be handled and shipped from our Utah business, and is not available for shipment internationally, nor within the USA to California, NY, Nevada, Hawaii, New Jersey, Oregon, Washington if it contains ivory, sorry. Please see our small print for more details.
