Antique Sampson Mordan & Co Sterling Silver Letter M Wax Seal Chester 1907
A charming antique Sampson Mordan & Co. sterling silver wax seal, hallmarked in Chester, 1907, and engraved with the letter M.
Small in scale but full of presence, this silver seal carries the elegance of private correspondence, handwritten notes and personal ritual. The circular seal face measures approximately 13mm in diameter, with a raised letter M set within a 10mm circular border. The monogram itself measures approximately 5mm high by 5mm wide.
The handle has a softly rounded, hollow form, giving the piece a light and delicate feel in the hand. At its widest point the handle measures approximately 14mm in diameter, and the full height of the seal is approximately 34mm. The total weight is approximately 5 grams.
Hallmarked SM&C for Sampson Mordan & Co., with Chester assay marks for 1907, this is a refined miniature example of the kind of personal silver for which the house was known. It may be displayed as a small collector’s piece, kept as a personal desk object, or chosen as a thoughtful gift for someone whose name, family name or initials begin with M.
The seal has been professionally cleaned and polished and is in good condition for its age. As expected with an antique hollow silver handle, there are some remaining surface marks, light dents and small signs of age. These do not detract from its charm and are part of the character of a piece that has survived from the early twentieth century.
This antique silver seal has been professionally cleaned and polished. It presents well, with a bright silver finish and clear letter M seal face. There are some visible surface marks and light dents to the hollow handle, consistent with age and use. Please review the photographs carefully, as they form part of the condition description.
