What were intaglios used for?
1 Answer
An intaglio is used for stamping a positive imprint on a wax seal which identifies and authenticates the letter on which it was pressed. In the Roman Empire, intaglios could be carved out of precious stones such as amethyst or garnet. Shop a collection of intaglios from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
