British East India Company - Honourable East India Company - HEIC - Historical Wax Seal from the 17th Century

This wax seal stamp features the emblem of the British East India Company, also known as the Honourable East India Company (HEIC). Founded in 1600 by royal charter under Queen Elizabeth I, the East India Company grew to dominate global trade and politics for over two centuries, becoming a powerful agent of British influence across Asia.

The East India Company's seal and flag became instantly recognisable symbols of maritime commerce, exploration, and imperial ambition. At its height, the Company controlled vast territories, maintained its own armies and navies, and wielded immense political power. It played a pivotal role in shaping the modern world, particularly through its operations in India, China, and Southeast Asia.

This seal is based directly on historical designs used by the Company during its period of peak influence, capturing the grandeur and complexity of this extraordinary era. Perfect for adding an authentic historical touch to your letters, crafts, or historical displays.
