About this piece

French desk seal, early 20th century, circa 1915. Executed in a cigar‑shaped piece of black onyx with a diamond‑set collar to one end and a monogram intaglio to the other. The seal face is engraved ‘AMF’ to the underside.

The piece retains its original fitted Morocco leather case, signed ‘Appay’—a French manufacturer—embossed ‘AMF’ to the lid. Appay were retailing at 24 Rue de la Paix, Paris, near Place Vendôme and the Opéra.
