This sterling silver waxing seal holder is the perfect accessory for everyone who still enjoys sending handwritten letters! It is a nice, hefty accessory, with the grip decorated with an intricate scroll pattern.
It proved difficult to find waxing seal sticks of 8×8 mm: I had a tiny piece of an antique wax stick in my collection, which will be part of this sale. This holder will also fit the standard round 7mm wax seal sticks that can be bought easily online: one of these will also be included in this sale.
