About This Piece

An antique French silver letter seal, beautifully worked with acanthus motifs, bell-flowers, flowing tendrils, and a small detail of latticework. A most elegant desk accessory and a perfect gift.

The use of letter seals and wax is a fascinating subject steeped in 19th-century etiquette. Different colors of wax were used in relation to the contents of the letter — the French, for instance, used chocolate-colored wax for dinner invitations and white for wedding correspondence. A charming piece of social history for the desk.

Antiques are a perfect way to go green — to recycle beautifully and bring a piece of the past into your daily life.

Great info TINY BOOK
Format: Paperback
There’s small, and then there’s this book. It’s true that this is a pocket size book. Look at the dimensions and then imagine 6pt font. Giving it four stars because info is great- succinct, useful, and up to date! But taking away one star because it should come with a magnifying lens.

Not helpful for new grad
Just random facts No abdominal pain test panel/plan for example. An emed book should have basic guidelines for most common chief complaints
