Sealing wax stamp depicting Napoleon
The eagle shown in the seal is the main element of the emblem, a symbol of imperial Rome, associated since antiquity with military victory.
The Bees engraved in the seal are a symbol of immortality and resurrection. They were discovered in 1653 in Tournai in the tomb of Childerico I.
According to a Breton legend, bees were generated by Christ’s tears on the cross.
They are considered the oldest emblem of the sovereigns of France. Napoleon had the treasure bees sewn on his cloak used for his coronation as emperor.
The seal is completed with the extra fine quality colored sealing wax available in 23 colors, accompanied by the certificate of guarantee.
To melt the sealing wax you can use our alcohol lamp or alternatively a kitchen lighter.
Another way to melt the sealing wax is with the strainer by heating it directly over the flame of the alcohol stove. If you have any doubts, you can see the video tutorial on the channel.
A good sealing wax should drip quickly even directly over the flame without burning, remain liquid to have time to imprint the seal.
Once imprinted in seal on the wax, one must wait twenty seconds before peeling it off so that the wax cools.
As a final touch, it can give a gold or silver effect by swiping a finger over the wax impression with gold or silver cream.
Today, sealing wax is mainly used to decorate gift packages, wine bottles and to seal wedding invitations.
Even a simple sealed greeting card or gift wrap will be impressive.
