French Wax Seal, Georgian Sedan Chair

£25.00

Channel your inner Cyrano and sign off your letters in 17th century style with a wax seal. We are offering some modern archetype symbols to represent you; take your pick for any occasion. Pretend you're Jane Austen, going in style to a fabulous party. Illustrated here are two porteurs carrying the equivalent of the modern day taxi, circa 1750 - the sedan chair. We recommend this seal for the most sartorial invitations.

These handmade seals are made in France and not only are they attractive as objects, but they also create beautifully deep-set embossed images. We recommend using hard, Shellac-based wax for a more authentic, historical and crisp, sharp finish which can be purchased in a range of subtle tones here.

There are many Youtube videos illustrating how to use sealing wax - a spoon and spirit burner are essential accessories. This should always done with care (and by adults only) as the wax can get very hot and should not be handled directly.
