About This Piece

Vintage Design

We are delighted to offer for sale this stunning and very rare full sized Imperial Russian 1891 Cloisonné enamel casket box made from solid silver with gold gilding by the highly coveted Pavel Ovchinnikov whilst he worked with Ivan Khlebnikov complete with the Romanov Eagle silver stamp for the last Czar and Tsarina of Russia Attached you can see a screenshot of some lots due for sale on the 26th November at Christie's, I for one will be very excited to see the end results For those die-hard Russian silver collectors out there this piece is just about as rare and important as they come, it confused me, to begin with, because its clearly made by Pavel Ovchinnikov, his other works of this kind are know and easily found with a little internet research, however it is stamped for Ivan Khlebnikov The import extract is as follows" The growing fame helped the factory to receive the honorary orders. Together with the firm" Nicols and Plinke" , as well as with jewellers Pavel Akimovich Ovchinnikov (1830–1888) and Ivan Ekimovich Morozov (1825-1885) he was involved in the renovation of the Palace silver dinner sets." The two silversmiths were working at the same time, in the same pallet of materials and on the same projects, this link inexplicably solves the mystery of how two of the three greatest silversmiths in Russia (Faberge being the third of course) came to collaboration The casket itself is an exceptionally rare find, I’ve only ever seen one other of this type come up for auction, it was just over 10 years ago in Christie's, it was half the size.The piece is solid silver with gold gilding and cloisonné polychrome enamel, it’s detailed with scrolls and stylised flowers on stippled grounds within geometric borders, the two handles formed as cockerels and its finished with clawed ball feet The box is fully and clearly hallmarked A.O 1891, 84 with a rearing horse, then Khlebnikov in Russian Cyrillic below the Imperial warrant which as mentioned was awarded to Khlebnikov by the then Czar Nicholas II (18 May 1868 - 17th July 1918) and his wike the Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna (6 June 1872-17th July 1918) Condition wise the piece to my eyes and hands looks amazing, the finish around one of the claw feet at the top looks slightly different to the others so it may have possibly been repaired at some point, otherwise its museum quality Dimensions and weight to follow Please note all measurements are taken at the widest point.
