Featured IS THIS A DOCUMENT SEAL?

    I found this today at a thrift store. It looks like something you would roll across a document to seal it or sign it?
    What exactly is it?
    Is it old or new(er)?
    Thanks for any help!

    No. It's an ink blotter missing the blotting paper. It's a beauty, though!

    Exactly. Art Nouveau ink blotter. Part of a desk set.

    Apparently, owls were a popular Art Nouveau motif.

    That things got mojo! If you could flatten-out the base I think it would make a great belt buckle.

    Or you could fit it with a blotting paper.;) And go back to the thrift store to see if they have more desk pieces to make up a set.:)

    I know, it is your treasure trove.;) See if they have the rest of the set, or at least some parts of it. It is really pretty, and will sell imo.
