The Replica Seals Origins:

During the Victorian era, a now-forgotten collector gathered together a large number of plaster casts taken directly from seals on documents stored in churches libraries and other document repositories. They lay virtually hidden and unused for around 150 years. All of the seals in our collection are hand made from red resin, from the collected, forgotten, and re-found collection. Many of the originals may have been lost or destroyed.Ā
