Bortoletti wax seal stamp – Ca’ D’oro
The Bortoletti Ca’ D’oro wax seal stamp is one of the most distinctive designs in the Bortoletti sealing collection, handmade in Venice with a decorative bronze body and elegant Murano glass handle. Created for those who appreciate fine stationery, traditional sealing tools, and heritage-inspired desk accessories, this 22 mm interchangeable wax seal stamp adds refinement and personality to every impression.
Inspired by the Ca’ D’oro palace
This design is dedicated to the celebrated Ca’ D’oro, one of the finest examples of Venetian Gothic architecture overlooking the Grand Canal. Known for its rich detail, grace, and historic importance, the palace lends its name to a wax seal stamp that reflects the same sense of elegance and artistic heritage. The result is a seal with strong decorative appeal, ideal for anyone drawn to Venetian style and timeless craftsmanship.
Bronze and Murano glass details
The Ca’ D’oro wax seal stamp combines bronze with a beautifully decorative Murano glass handle, giving it a distinctive Venetian identity. This combination of traditional metalwork and handcrafted glass makes the piece feel both practical and luxurious, whether it is used regularly for sealing correspondence or displayed as part of a writing desk collection.
Personalised initial options
This interchangeable wax seal stamp can be customised with your chosen design, including an English cursive initial, Gothic lettering, block lettering, or a combination of two initials. This makes it especially suitable for personalised stationery, wedding invitations, anniversary gifts, bespoke gift wrapping, and elegant personal correspondence.
Practical use and sealing performance
The stamp is designed to create crisp and detailed wax seal impressions when used with sealing wax melted by an alcohol lamp, spirit burner, or carefully with a kitchen lighter. After pressing the stamp into the wax, allow around 20 seconds before lifting to achieve a clean finish. Good quality sealing wax should melt smoothly, flow evenly, and remain workable long enough to capture the engraved detail clearly.
Compatibility and size
The Ca’ D’oro is an interchangeable 22 mm wax seal stamp, making it compatible with Bortoletti wax seal handles and suitable for customers who like to build a collection of initials, monograms, and decorative symbols. Its standard size gives a balanced impression that works beautifully on envelopes, invitations, certificates, gift tags, and presentation pieces.
Enhance your wax seal impressions
For an even more decorative finish, the raised details of your wax seal can be highlighted using Bortoletti wax cream, available in pots of gold or silver. This is a simple way to bring out initials, symbols, and engraved details, adding extra contrast and a more luxurious finish to your completed seal.

Hi Trina,
Thank you for asking. Bortoletti recommends using 90% pure alcohol or denatured alcohol (Methylated spirits) for a stable, odourless flame that does not burn or discolour the wax.
The two best, least expensive fuels for the alcohol lamps are denatured ethanol (ethyl alcohol; grain alcohol), and methanol (methyl alcohol; wood alcohol; methylated spirit); both can be cheaply obtained at hardware stores or home-improvement centers.
What is the alternative to denatured alcohol for alcohol lamp?
Try using >99% isopropyl alcohol. It's the closest in structure and physical properties. Denatured alcohol is mostly ethanol with methanol mixed in so it can be sold for non-food use.
Please note that Calligraphy Arts does not sell this as it requires specialist posting, but it is freely available at many hardware and cosmetic accessory stores.
I hope that helps,
Jane
Hello Irene,
Thanks for asking. To seal a lid on a jar, you need to heat the end of the sealing wax with something like a kitchen lighter and carefully drip the melted wax over the area you want to seal. Then, while the wax is still warm, you can press your stamp.
