A Victorian desk seal in white chalcedony of good size and pleasing proportion, the base left blank and unengraved. The absence of a crest or monogram makes this a particularly versatile piece. It can be engraved to order with initials, a personal device or a family symbol, or simply kept as found, a fine object in its own right.
White chalcedony was a popular choice for desk seals throughout the Victorian period, the pale translucent stone producing a clean and legible impression in wax. The quality here is evident in the cutting and finishing of the stone, the surface precise and even throughout.
