19th-century Brass Seal With Interchangeable Die.
A very interesting seal with interchangeable dies.
The seal is made of brass with a square cross-section and is entirely decorated with romantic motifs such as putti, ancient profiles, volutes, quiver birds, etc.
The hollow handle reveals a small “drawer” that normally holds additional dies. Unfortunately, it is empty.
A double-sided die is present:
. On one side, a bouquet of flowers and the inscription “J’attends”
. The other side bears the inscription “Te perdant je suis perdu” along with a ship tossed by the waves.
This die is held in place by a small removable frame.
Although rare, it is possible to find “orphan” dies to complete this beautiful object.
