An angled sprig of oak foliage with a small rosette at the turn — strike four of them and they close into a frame. The lobes here are wavy and rounded, with no points and none of the pierced eyes you'd see on acanthus. Oak leaves carry one genuinely good story: Rome's civic crown was awarded for saving the life of a fellow citizen, and the man you saved had to testify himself. No other witness counted.

CNC-milled solid brass head on a stainless steel handle — one piece, 110 mm (4 5/16") overall. Size: 18x17mm (23/32" x 21/32"). Cut depth: 1.0 mm — best on 3 mm leather or thicker.

What it's for

Built for framing things. Four impressions make a panel border around a monogram on a wallet, a maker's mark on a notebook, a name on a collar or a dedication on a book cover. Run more of them along a rule and you get a continuous leafy edge for a belt or a bag flap. At 18 mm each, a frame lands at roughly the size of a business card.

We can cut this frame to a size that fits a specific piece of yours. Send the dimensions and we'll talk it through.

How to use it well

Case the leather and pencil the whole frame out first, with all four positions measured, because this design cannot be nudged once it's down. Strike each one with even pressure so the outline reads the same weight the whole way round. If the lobes come out shallow at one end, tip the maul very slightly toward that side on the next impression.

Workshop Tips

Veg-tan leather, lightly cased — damp to the touch, not wet.

  • Use 3 mm leather or thicker. Some of our patterns cut up to 1.8 mm deep. On thinner leather a backing scrap underneath is mandatory, or the pattern will distort the back.
  • One clean strike, square to the surface. Don't tilt the tool.
  • For deeper relief: lift the stamp fully, re-seat it in the same impression, and strike again. Never rock the tool — rocking gives you ghosted double edges.
  • Hot stamping: wear gloves. Metal carries heat faster than you expect.

Care

Proper care and maintenance will help extend the lifespan of your stamped leather items and keep them looking their best.

  1. Clean with a soft cloth: After each use, gently wipe the brass head and stainless steel parts of the stamp with a soft, dry cloth to remove any dust or debris. This helps to maintain its appearance and prevent buildup.
  2. Store in a dry place: When not in use, store the stamp in a cool, dry place to prevent any potential corrosion or tarnishing of the brass head and stainless steel parts. This helps to maintain their integrity and prolong their lifespan.
  3. Handle with care: When using the stamp, handle it with care to avoid any unnecessary impact or force. This will prevent damage to the brass head and stainless steel parts, ensuring their longevity.
  4. Avoid abrasive materials: Refrain from using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals when cleaning the stamp, as they can potentially damage the brass head or stainless steel parts. Stick to gentle cleaning methods using soft cloths or brushes.
