Cut Glass Lantern Wax Seal Workshop

Warm candlelight glows through the facets of a cut-glass lantern resting on a wooden chart table. Beside it sits a small mound of red sealing wax and a metal stamp. Honeyed evening light falls through a nearby window, illuminating dust motes in the air. Condensation beads on the surface of a glass tumbler placed just out of focus. The rough grain of the oak table contrasts with the smooth, polished metal of the seal. Shadows stretch long across the chart paper, marked with faint ink lines and coordinates. The glass lantern casts sharp, geometric reflections onto the wooden surface below.
