Wax Seal Stamp Box

$590.00

The process of making wax seal impressions is a slow one where a small puddle of a specially-formulated wax is dripped onto the box surface, and then the seal matrix is pressed into the wax until it hardens, leaving an intricate impression. Each impression takes several minutes to create, and no two are alike. The top and sides of the stamp box have been covered in an artistically composed collage of impressions, and a thin layer of protective paint and varnish has been added to increase durability and prolong the life of the piece. Note: as this piece is crafted with sealing wax, it should be protected from direct sunlight and other heat sources. Inside the stamp box you'll find an interior beautifully lined with hand-marbled paper, and English brass bun feet elevate the base.

Dimensions:
Exterior dimensions: 4-1/4" square, 2-1/2" tall
Interior tray dimensions: 3-3/4" square, 1-1/2" deep
English brass bun feet
Protect from strong sunlight and extreme heat

About Parvum Opus

Parvum Opus is an atelier-style artist’s studio founded by Erika Stefanutti and located outside of Detroit, Michigan specializing in handmade decorative objects and home furnishings, including shadow boxes and cameos evocative of classic curiosity cabinets.

Their name is inspired by the Latin term for a small work by an artist (Parvum: little, a trifle; Opus: an artistic work), and perfectly describes their approach to each project they undertake: small things, beautifully done.
