Make an impression with this lovely French desk wax seal depicting a beautiful long thorny stemmed rose above a banner within which is the sentiment AD ROSAM which translates THE ROSE or TO THE ROSE.  The wax seal dates back to the 19th century.

So much mystery but I'll leave the enjoyment of the research to you.
