Russian icon of the Holy Martyr Antonina, turn of the 19th-20th centuries.

Russian icon of the Holy Martyr Antonina, turn of the 19th-20th centuries. A small, personal image is painted in bright and festive gold, in the canons of realistic painting at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The semi-figure of the saint is enlivened by a three-quarter turn, volumetric-plastic construction of the figure, calm and confident concentration, realistically written hands with a cross. The careful and fractional ornamentation of the golden field and its organization do not contradict the stated dating. Dimensions: 17x14 cm.

SILVER FIGURE OF A CLOWN. VITTORIO ANCINI ITALY, AREZZO, SECOND HALF OF THE 20TH CENTURY

SILVER FIGURE OF A CLOWN. VITTORIO ANCINI ITALY, AREZZO, SECOND HALF OF THE 20TH CENTURY

An expressive silver cabinet figure of a clown created by the Italian workshop Ancini in the second half of the 20th century. The sculpture depicts a comic character dressed in a typical circus costume with shortened trousers, a loose jacket and a large decorative bow tie. The plastic composition captures a moment of theatrical gesture: the figure leans slightly forward with arms spread apart, while the face conveys an exaggerated comic expression, lending the composition a sense of movement and emphasizing the theatrical nature of the image.The figure is distinguished by the carefully modeled costume and the expressive treatment of the face. The silver surface is highly polished, producing a characteristic play of reflections that accentuates the sculptural structure of the drapery. The decorative appeal of the composition is enhanced by colored enamels on silver: a bright red nose, polychrome inserts on the bow tie and buttons, as well as contrasting shoelaces, reinforcing the theatrical character of the figure and giving it a vivid stage-like individuality.The composition is notable for the unity of its silhouette and its well-balanced proportions. Genre figures of this type became widespread in Italian artistic silver of the second half of the 20th century and were produced as decorative interior objects intended for collecting and for the decoration of representative interiors.Marks: Maker’s mark “ANCINI”; Italian assay marks “925 ITALY”; registered maker’s number “1547 AR” (Arezzo); additional mark “Z”.Dimensions: Height: 20 cm. Width: 7 cm.Weight: 0.641 kg.Condition: Good. No gilding. Minor traces of use. No deformations, cracks or losses.Provenance: Private European collection.

RUSSIAN SILVER TROMPE-L’ŒIL CASKET. GERASIM LOSKUTOV RUSSIA, MOSCOW, 1893

RUSSIAN SILVER TROMPE-L’ŒIL CASKET. GERASIM LOSKUTOV RUSSIA, MOSCOW, 1893

A rare Russian silver trompe-l’œil casket of rectangular form, virtuously imitating bast weaving. The body is conceived as a tightly plaited basket, its textured “wicker” surface rendered with exceptional precision through refined chasing and engraving. The casket is raised on four low shaped feet, lending the composition architectural clarity and stability.The hinged lid with softly rounded corners is modelled as a draped textile with carefully executed fringe, creating the illusion of a cloth casually laid over the box. The interior is fully fire-gilt, with neatly finished seams and corners, underscoring the high technical standard and ceremonial character of the object. Such trompe-l’œil works rank among the most complex and prestigious creations of the Moscow silver school of the late 19th century and were intended for a highly discerning clientele.Marks: Maker’s mark “ГЛ” - Gerasim Loskutov; Moscow Assay Office mark with silver standard “84”; City mark of Moscow with St George the Victorious; Assay master’s mark “АА” above the date “1893” - Anatoly Apollonovich Artsibashev.Dimensions: 14.2 x 10.6 cm.Weight: 490 g.
