Late 19th Century French Sterling Silver Seal Art Nouveau Style

🌺【Late 19th Century French Sterling Silver Seal | Art Nouveau Style】 Dimensions: 6.6 cm This French sterling silver (Argent) seal, bearing the mark of a wild boar's head (Tête de Sanglier), was crafted during the late 19th-century Art Nouveau movement. At that time, Parisian goldsmiths moved away from strictly symmetrical classical compositions, embracing the fluidity of nature and life. The body of the seal features **entwined vine scrolls**, where light and shadow dance across its curves, exuding a dynamic beauty reminiscent of growing plants. The seal face displays the three-letter monogram "B H M," intricately engraved with depth and strong strokes, showcasing the Art Nouveau artisan's mastery of balancing curves and structure. This seal stands as a poetic emblem of late 19th-century Parisian craftsmanship, perfectly merging the softness of nature with the strength of metal, as if one could hear the echoes of ink and wax seals from that era. It is fully functional, but as an antique, it bears the marks of its history. Please consider this before purchasing.
