About This Product
Bortoletti wooden pen and seal set – Cimaroli is an elegant Italian-made writing and sealing set combining a wooden calligraphy pen, interchangeable 22 mm wax seal, pen rest, and sealing wax in one refined presentation box. Designed for weddings, correspondence, and thoughtful gifting, it brings together natural materials, traditional craftsmanship, and timeless desk appeal.
Bortoletti wooden pen and seal set – Cimaroli
The Bortoletti Cimaroli wooden pen and seal set is one of the signature desk ensembles in the Bortoletti collection, handmade in Italy with careful attention to detail and traditional craftsmanship. Combining calligraphy and wax sealing in one beautifully balanced presentation, this refined set is ideal for customers who appreciate elegant stationery, heritage-inspired desk accessories, and meaningful gifts with lasting character.
A complete writing and sealing set
This elegant Bortoletti set includes a wooden calligraphy pen, a horizontal pen holder in nickel-silver plated bronze, a wooden wax seal handle, an interchangeable 22 mm seal plate, one 13 cm sealing wax stick, an elegant presentation gift box, and a certificate of guarantee. It offers a practical and attractive way to combine handwritten correspondence with traditional wax sealing in one coordinated set.
Natural wood and refined bronze detailing
The Cimaroli set combines the warmth of natural wood with the elegance of hand-finished bronze metalwork. The pen holder is crafted from bronze with a refined nickel-silver plated finish, creating a polished contrast with the wooden pen and wax seal handle. This balance of natural and decorative materials gives the set a timeless style that suits both traditional and contemporary desks.
Interchangeable wax seal plate
The wax seal handle is fitted with an interchangeable system, allowing you to personalise the set with your chosen design. Available options include italic lettering, double initials, Gothic lettering, and decorative symbols. This makes the set especially suitable for personalised stationery, wedding invitations, bespoke gift wrapping, and special correspondence with an individual finish.
Designed for writing and sealing
The Cimaroli set is designed for customers who enjoy both the art of writing and the finishing detail of a wax seal. The wooden calligraphy pen adds character and ceremony to handwritten notes, invitations, and keepsake documents, while the matching wax seal handle creates a crisp impression that completes the presentation. Used together, they turn everyday writing into a more thoughtful and refined ritual.
Sealing wax and practical use
The included 13 cm sealing wax stick creates approximately 20 wax seals, depending on the size and depth of each impression. To create a clean seal, melt the wax using an alcohol lamp, spirit burner, or carefully with a kitchen lighter, then allow around 20 seconds after stamping before lifting the seal. Good quality sealing wax should melt smoothly, flow evenly, and remain workable long enough to capture the engraved detail clearly.
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.
Product dimensions and compatibility
The interchangeable seal plate measures 22 mm in diameter, which is the standard size used across most of the Bortoletti wax sealing range. This gives the set added flexibility, as customers can expand their collection over time with other compatible Bortoletti initials and symbol stamps.
Bortoletti Italian craftsmanship
Bortoletti is known for Italian-made writing accessories, sealing tools, and fine desk accessories inspired by traditional craftsmanship and elegant design. The Cimaroli set reflects that heritage through its natural materials, refined bronze detailing, and balanced presentation. It is a fine example of practical stationery brought together with artisan character and gift-worthy appeal.

Bortoletti was founded in 1980 by four brothers driven by the passion passed on by their father for bronze casting and sculpture.
It was born in Venice, and it was here that a story of love and passion began that has been handed down from father to son in respect for tradition and the need to preserve what is wonderful about culture.
Bortoletti Fonderia Artistica design and create exclusive handmade objects in the tradition of Venetian craftsmanship, from the pencils of their designers and their artistic creativity come the designs of wonderful products and it is always a lifeblood of the whole creative process.
The passion and care they devote to their products are a source of pride and satisfaction for everyone. All creations are unique pieces, handmade and produced elusively in Bortoletti's workshop. By integrating with modern habits, they restore to you the pleasure of giving that has belonged to us all for millennia. The design of Bortoletti's products is so pleasing to the eye because it speaks of the past in the language of the present.
If you have a piece of Bortoletti - you have a part of Venice in your hands.
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.
Here is a video showing one method I found on YouTube:
