About This Product
Bortoletti wax seal stamp handle – Landi is an elegant Venetian sealing accessory handmade in bronze with a refined nickel-silver plated finish and decorative coloured tassel.

Bortoletti wax seal stamp handle – Landi
The Bortoletti Landi wax seal stamp handle is a beautifully minimal sealing accessory handmade in Venice for customers who appreciate fine Italian craftsmanship, heritage-inspired stationery tools, and elegant desk accessories. Crafted in bronze with a refined nickel-silver plated finish, this versatile handle is designed to work with interchangeable Bortoletti wax seal stamps, making it a practical and stylish choice for personalised correspondence and decorative sealing.
A refined design inspired by tradition
The Landi handle draws on the long tradition of personal sealing stamps as symbols of identity, authority, and character. Historically, seals were sometimes worn around the neck as personal emblems, and the Landi reflects that heritage with a design that can also be worn as a pendant. This gives it a distinctive appeal as both a functional wax sealing accessory and a meaningful personal object.
Bronze construction with nickel-silver finish
Handmade in Venice by Bortoletti, the Landi handle is crafted in bronze and finished with an elegant nickel-silver plating. Its clean lines and polished surface create a more understated look than some of the more decorative Venetian styles, making it especially suitable for customers who prefer classic simplicity with traditional craftsmanship. A decorative coloured tassel completes the design and adds a subtle ornamental touch.
Compatible with interchangeable wax seal stamps
The Landi handle is designed for use with interchangeable 22 mm Bortoletti wax seal stamps. It accepts a wide range of designs, including English cursive initials, Gothic lettering, block capitals, double initials, and decorative symbols. This screw-fit system makes it easy to change your seal design to suit different occasions, from wedding invitations and monogrammed stationery to gift presentation and creative projects.
Choose your wax seal stamp and sealing wax
This product is a wax seal stamp handle, so you will need to choose a compatible Bortoletti 22 mm stamp insert separately to complete your seal. You will also need sealing wax sticks to create your impressions. Different wax colours can be chosen to coordinate with wedding themes, stationery palettes, seasonal wrapping, or brand colours for presentation pieces.
Practical use and wax seal performance
To use the Landi handle, fit it with your chosen stamp insert and melt your sealing wax using an alcohol lamp, spirit burner, kitchen lighter, or melting spoon. Pour the wax onto your chosen surface and press the seal firmly into the warm wax. Allow approximately 20 seconds before lifting the seal for a crisp impression. For pre-made wax seals, pour the wax onto a silicone mat, stamp it, allow it to cool fully, and attach it later with double-sided adhesive.
Wax yield and versatility
Each sealing wax stick creates approximately 18 to 20 impressions, depending on the diameter and depth of the chosen seal. This makes the Landi handle a practical option for both occasional sealing and larger projects such as invitations, gift packaging, labels, and decorative embellishments for creative work.
Product dimensions and compatibility
The Landi handle is made for 22 mm interchangeable Bortoletti wax seal stamps, the standard size used across most of the Bortoletti sealing range. This allows you to build a personalised collection of initials and symbol stamps while continuing to use the same elegant Venetian handle.
Enhance your wax seal impressions
For an even more decorative finish, the raised details of your wax seal can be highlighted using Bortoletti wax cream, available in pots of gold or silver. This is a simple way to bring out initials, symbols, and engraved details, adding extra contrast and a more luxurious finish to your completed seal.
Bortoletti Italian craftsmanship

The Landi wax seal stamp handle reflects this heritage through its hand-finished bronze construction, practical screw-fit design, and elegant presentation. It offers a balance of simplicity, versatility, and authentic craftsmanship that suits both everyday use and special occasions.

Hi Trina,
Thank you for asking. Bortoletti recommends using 90% pure alcohol or denatured alcohol (Methylated spirits) for a stable, odourless flame that does not burn or discolour the wax.
The two best, least expensive fuels for the alcohol lamps are denatured ethanol (ethyl alcohol; grain alcohol), and methanol (methyl alcohol; wood alcohol; methylated spirit); both can be cheaply obtained at hardware stores or home-improvement centers.
What is the alternative to denatured alcohol for alcohol lamp?
Try using >99% isopropyl alcohol. It's the closest in structure and physical properties. Denatured alcohol is mostly ethanol with methanol mixed in so it can be sold for non-food use.
Please note that Calligraphy Arts does not sell this as it requires specialist posting, but it is freely available at many hardware and cosmetic accessory stores.
I hope that helps,
Jane
Hello Irene,
Thanks for asking. To seal a lid on a jar, you need to heat the end of the sealing wax with something like a kitchen lighter and carefully drip the melted wax over the area you want to seal. Then, while the wax is still warm, you can press your stamp.
