An antique desk seal with a black turned handle and an oval brass face engraved with an interlaced script monogram inside a double line border. It was cut as a personal seal, and the letters still read as a tidy tangle of loops. The handle flares from a narrow neck into a domed top, a shape that fits the hand well.

The black finish has worn through at the top of the knob, leaving pale flecks and fine scratches, and brown wood shows at the edge of the rim and the collar. The handle carries light scratching along its length. The brass face has light pitting and spotting at the edge, and the mount shows rubbing and tarnish. The engraving is crisp but carries fine surface scratches. The matrix has not been tested in wax, so whether the monogram is cut in reverse is not established, and I have not named the letters. I could find no maker’s mark, hallmark, or retailer’s label anywhere on the piece. Please review all photographs closely, as they form part of this description.

Important Info About Antique & Vintage

Every antique and vintage item we carry has lived a life before arriving in your home. These are not factory-made products. They are objects with history, character, and the marks of time.

Age-appropriate wear, patina, minor imperfections, and signs of previous use or repair are inherent to antique and vintage items and are not considered defects. These characteristics are part of what makes each piece unique and are often what give it its beauty and value.

We describe the condition of each piece as accurately as possible in the listing. If you have specific questions about a piece before purchasing, please reach out. We are always happy to provide additional photos or details.

Colors may appear slightly different on screen due to monitor settings and photography lighting. We do our best to represent each item accurately.

Descriptions, dates, attributions, materials, and measurements are provided in good faith and reflect our best assessment based on research, physical examination, and the information available to us. Antique and vintage pieces often carry incomplete or unverifiable histories. Where a detail is an assessment rather than a confirmed fact, it is identified as such. Measurements are approximate. All items are sold as-is, with the photographs and condition report governing.
