An antique wax seal box with the original seal. The box was fashioned in two parts from Lignum Vitae wood to an impressively high degree of precision as the base and lid thread into each other perfectly to close, the seal is the coat of arms of the Ministry of Education. The box diameter is 7cm.

In the days before functional objects were routinely made from metal, wood was the preferred medium, such objects collectively being known as Treen. Wealthy customers would be able to commission items from the most skilled craftsmen and the best quality woods. Genuine Treen will have a beautiful patina from age and generations of use.
