FLEUR & OLIVES

Inspired by 18th and 17th century French documents, this unique design has us envisioning ourselves in another time...thronged with the scratch of feather quills on fine parchment, the exotic scent of rosemary and citrus, the sensuous rustle of skirts against exquisite parquet floors, and the warm glow of candlelight. The fleur and olive branches, featured here, ensconced in swirls and flourishes...a sign of royalty and peace. 

PROVENCE

Inspired by the ceilings of a provincial French apartment, this unique design has us envisioning ourselves in another time...with candlelight, the rustling of silk gowns, Napoleon, and feather quills. Intricate scrolls and ribboned leaves surround images of foxes and horses, while a crown sits atop. 

SARDINIA

Inspired by the island of Sardinia, this unique design has us envisioning ourselves in another slower time with scents of herbaceous plants and the wafts of the Mediterranean sea to tickle our nose. 

VIEUX LYON

Inspired Vieux Lyon which sits on the River Saône. It is overlooked by Renaissance mansions with hidden courtyards that tease the mind with storybook memories. This unique design has us envisioning ourselves in another time...with its crest of acanthus, fleurs, and exquisitely detailed heraldry -- all accented with a delicate coronet. 

GARDENIA

Inspired by the private gardens of Charleston and the fragrant Southern environs, this unique design has us envisioning ourselves in another time...where the air smells like gardenias and tastes like honey. This stamp depicts a honeybee in flight, surrounded by a wreath of thyme greenery -- calling to mind the heady florals of Charleston and the low country gardens.

WOODLAND WREATH

Inspired by the organic, this floral design has us dreaming of sunshine, gossamer petals, and woodland nymphs. Each crest is delicate and ornamented with minute details. The fern wreath, featured here, is finely shaped by a variety of ferns creating a whimsical woodland environment.

GRASSE TUBEROSE

Inspired by the French commune of Grasse, this large floral bouquet design has us dreaming of clusters of jasmine, tuberose, lilies, and lush orange blossoms. Each facet is delicate and ornamented with minute details. This particularly oval seal features a bouquet at its center with a large cluster of romantic florals cascading across its top.
