Bortoletti wax seal stamp handle – Corona

The Bortoletti Corona wax seal stamp handle is a beautifully decorative sealing accessory handmade in Venice for customers who appreciate fine Italian craftsmanship, heritage-inspired desk accessories, and elegant stationery details. Crafted in bronze with a refined nickel-silver plated finish and set with a sea-blue glass rod, this interchangeable wax seal handle is designed to pair with Bortoletti 22 mm wax seal stamps for a distinctive and personalised sealing experience.

Inspired by royal heritage

The Corona design draws inspiration from the jewels of the French monarchy and the grandeur of Versailles. Its styling references the Fleur-de-lis and the royal crown, both long associated with prestige, heraldic tradition, and ceremonial beauty. The result is a wax seal handle with a richly decorative character that feels especially suited to formal correspondence, wedding stationery, and luxury gift presentation.

Bronze, nickel-silver finish, and blue glass detail

This elegant handle is made using traditional lost-wax casting in bronze, then finished with a nickel-silver plated surface and hand-chiselled detailing that gives it the appearance of a fine decorative object. A striking sea-blue glass rod is set into the handle, adding balance, colour, and unmistakable Venetian character. Together, these materials create a piece that feels both functional and ornamental.

Compatible with interchangeable wax seal stamps

The Corona handle is designed for use with interchangeable 22 mm Bortoletti wax seal stamps. It can be paired with English cursive initials, Gothic lettering, block capitals, double initials, or a wide choice of decorative symbols. This flexibility makes it ideal for customers who want to build a personalised sealing collection and change designs to suit different occasions or projects.

Ideal for luxury stationery and special occasions

With its royal styling and decorative finish, the Corona handle is especially suitable for wedding invitations, personalised correspondence, certificates, gift wrapping, and keepsake documents. It offers a more distinctive alternative to plain sealing tools and helps create a memorable finishing touch on both personal and professional presentation pieces.

How to use with sealing wax

To use the handle, simply fit it with your chosen compatible Bortoletti wax seal stamp and prepare your sealing wax using an alcohol lamp, spirit burner, or carefully with a kitchen lighter. Once the wax has been poured, press the stamp into place and allow around 20 seconds before lifting to achieve a crisp and detailed impression. For the best visual result, use a sealing wax that melts smoothly and flows evenly.

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 can then pair it with sealing wax in a colour that suits your stationery, wedding palette, or gift presentation. This makes the Corona handle a versatile choice for customers who want to create a truly individual wax sealing set.

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

Bortoletti is an Italian maker associated with Venice, decorative metalwork, traditional lost-wax casting, Murano glass influences, and fine desk accessories. The Corona wax seal stamp handle reflects that heritage through its ornate form, hand-finished detail, and carefully chosen materials. It is a sealing accessory that combines practical use with the artistic identity for which Venetian craftsmanship is admired.

    What oil is needed for your wax heaters?

    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

    How do you seal a silver lid on a jar with sealing wax?

    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.

    Here is a video showing one method I found on YouTube:
