Sterling silver handled seal for wax impressions
This is a truly wonderful find – a seal in its original fitted case which is clearly branded as being Anaclet Angouleme. My French is below even basic but I believe that Anaclet was the shop name for a watchmakers and jewellers in Angouleme – a French city. A quick internet search turned up a postcard showing the shop frontage which is branded in French as Horolgerie Anaclet Bijouterie. The seal shows the raised palm of a hand and the words Love and truth. From AI – “Love and truth are interconnected values, where love without truth can be misguided or hypocritical, and truth without love can be harsh or brutal”. The sterling silver handpiece is clearly stamped (see images) with the makers mark for the ‘Boots Pure Drug Company’ and 1913 as the year of assay in Chester England. The seal measures 61mm tall, standing upright and weighs 7.51 grams As photographs form an important part of the description, happy to provide additional images if requested.
