Description

This exceptional antique steel printing die, dating to 1835 during the reign of King William IV, features the distinguished Prince of Wales’s feathers—a heraldic emblem representing the heir to the British throne. The design showcases three finely engraved ostrich feathers emerging from a detailed royal coronet, with a flowing banner beneath bearing the traditional motto \”ICH DIEN\” (German for \”I serve\”).

Expertly crafted from a solid piece of steel, this die was designed for embossing, printing, or stamping official documents, regalia, or fine stationery. It reflects the precision and superior engraving techniques of the late Georgian period, with crisp details in both the featherwork and lettering. The craftsmanship suggests it was created for prestigious or royal-related applications, potentially for letterheads, bookplates, military insignia, or official seals.

This die remains in original fine condition, showcasing museum-quality preservation with remarkable detail. One of a kind and fully authentic, it weighs 94.95 grams and measures 23mm in height, 23.3mm in width, and 23.4mm in length.

A rare and historically significant artifact, this 1835 steel printing die is an outstanding example of regal craftsmanship and British heraldic tradition, making it a highly desirable collector’s piece for enthusiasts of royal memorabilia, historical engraving, and antique printing tools.
