This piece, hailing from the UK and dating between 1850 and 1900, features a turned wood handle paired with a brass seal embellished with an elegant monogram. The brass glows with history, boasting an appropriate mix of patina and charm. Its condition is good, showing life’s small imprints in wear and some oxidation.
