A Very Brief History of Wax Seals

Whether a simple decoration for written correspondence or an eye-catching statement for more formal letters such as invitations, wax seals have a history throughout the ages.

Most often used a proof of authenticity or signature, the wax seal used would fall apart if a forger tried to remove & reuse it. Wax seals were often used as a way to seal important documents, as the recipient could tell if the document had been opened. Many civilizations had their own seals: Ancient Greece, Rome & East Asia among them, leading into what we now know as Signet Rings, which are literally the seals on wearable rings.

Many documents still require a seal for authenticity, but we now have the Notary Public for such matters!

In the past several years wax seals have seen a resurgence, with brides-to-be decorating the back flap of invitations for a personal touch. Many businesses also find the seals a quirky addition to outgoing mail.

We are fortunate to carry high quality pewter seals, as well as an array of sealing wax. Simply visit us & start perusing our variety of options.
