The Palais Bow Seal black wax

The Palais Bow Seal black waxInspired by Empress Eugnies Large Bodice Bow, this seal translates imperial ornament into something intimate and usable. The original jewel was opulent, composed of diamonds and suspended tassels. This is the first seal Kathyn Hastings designed explicitly to be painted. Pressed on its own, it reads as textured and sculptural. Touched with chrome paint, it transforms. The raised edges catch the light, the carved recesses fall into shadow, and the wax

and each petal and leaf is given its own shape

Each color tells its own story

It is orderly

it’s a work of art

delicately framed and signed

offering a gentle pause before we come back together for a thoughtfully prepared dinner to celebrate the closing of our time

this piece is both a tactile and visual delight

this seal embodies strength

and flourishing

Bows have long symbolized beautiful ties

” The design is inspired by two portraits of Marie Antoinette in which she holds a floral bouquet with the same quiet hand position and compositional grace
