Beautiful antique horse seal. This type of wax seal is called a "Tassie Gem" after it's Scottish creator, James Tassie, and his nephew, William Tassie, who developed a method to mold engraved intaglios into glass gems. These wax seals were popular throughout the first half of the 19th century and are highly collectable today. This one is a superb rare antique Georgian - Victorian glass intaglio Tassie seal depicting a horse head and it is in excellent condition.
