Napoleon Wax Seal Stamp – Handmade in Venice
The Napoleon sealing wax stamp set (SIG014) is a distinguished piece of craftsmanship, handmade in Venice by the master artisans at Bortoletti, a renowned family workshop specialising in fine writing and sealing instruments.
This set includes the decorative handle and one SIM105 – Napoleon wax stamp, crafted in hand-chiseled white bronze.
Inspired by Imperial History
The design honours Napoleon Bonaparte, one of history’s most renowned military strategists. At just 16 years old he became a second lieutenant, and by the age of 35 he was crowned Emperor of the French in 1804.
The central motif features the majestic imperial eagle, a powerful emblem inherited from ancient Rome and long associated with strength, authority and military victory.
Delicately engraved bees surround the design — symbols of immortality and resurrection. Discovered in 1653 in the tomb of Childeric I in Tournai, bees became one of the oldest emblems of French sovereignty. Napoleon famously had golden bees embroidered onto his coronation robes.

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.
