Antique Art Deco Wax Seal Stamp – Engraved Monogram
Beautiful antique wax seal stamp featuring an elegant geometric handle with vertical grooves, a faceted upper section and a smoothly rounded top.
The distinctive design reflects the Art Deco style of the early 20th century, making this an attractive collectible writing accessory and a wonderful addition to an antique desk collection.
Monogram & Markings
The circular sealing matrix features a beautifully engraved monogram with intertwined initials, designed to produce an impression in sealing wax.
The exact initials have not been conclusively identified due to the traditional mirror-image engraving.
A small rectangular cartouche near the base contains a partially worn marking that appears to read "Alpaka". However, the inscription has become worn over time and cannot be read with complete certainty.
Alpaka, also known as nickel silver or German silver, is a traditional copper-based alloy containing nickel and zinc. Despite its name, this alloy does not contain actual silver.
