SILVER SALT CELLAR WITH CLOISONNÉ ENAMEL. M. OVCHINNIKOV MOSCOW, RUSSIA, 1908 - 1917
An expressive silver salt cellar of architectural form, executed in the technique of cloisonné enamel over filigree and chased silver, represents a characteristic example of the Moscow school of decorative silver of the early twentieth century. The composition is conceived as a miniature throne with a hinged lid and a high vertical back forming a decorative shield, which gives the object pronounced frontality and monumentality despite its камерный scale.All surfaces of the body are covered with a complex symmetrical ornament composed of stylized vegetal scrolls, floral rosettes and medallions, executed in a насыщенная palette of turquoise, cobalt, emerald, white and ruby enamels. The clear contours of the cloisons emphasize the graphic precision of the design, while the granulated and finely chased silver ground creates a soft interplay of light and shadow with the translucent and opaque enamels. The interior surface is gilded, in accordance with the tradition of producing tableware objects from high-grade silver.The piece is associated with the workshop of Pavel Akimovich Ovchinnikov, one of the leading centers of Russian enamel silver production, known for developing the Neo-Russian style and the artistic interpretation of Old Russian ornamental traditions.Hallmarks: Maker’s mark “M.Ovchinnikov” under the double-headed eagle - Supplier to the Imperial Court mark; State assay mark of the Moscow district with the profile of a female head in kokoshnik facing right and the silver standard “84”, 1908 - 1917.Dimensions: Height: 10.5 cm; Width: 7 cm; Depth: 7 cm.Weight: 203 g.Condition: Good.

ALEXANDRA EGOROVNA MAKOVSKAJA (1837 - 1915) FOREST ROAD RUSSIA, 1889
ALEXANDRA EGOROVNA MAKOVSKAJA (1837 - 1915) FOREST ROAD RUSSIA, 1889
The lyrical landscape Forest Road, created in 1889, belongs to the mature period of Alexandra Egorovna Makovskaya and reflects the traditions of the Russian Realist school of the late 19th century. The work demonstrates the artist’s sustained interest in the national landscape of central Russia and in the motif of the road as both a spatial and conceptual dominant of the composition.The composition is structured according to the principle of deep linear perspective. A country road receding into a pine and birch forest creates a clear spatial axis and guides the viewer’s gaze toward the luminous depth of the woodland. Tall pine trunks and slender birches form a rhythmic vertical structure, enhancing the sense of space and the architectural quality of the natural environment. The light and air atmosphere is rendered with particular subtlety: sunlight gently penetrates the foliage, modelling the sandy surface of the road and emphasizing the interplay of light and shadow.At the centre of the composition appears a young peasant shepherd girl with a small basket, leading a flock of sheep along the forest road. Her figure is organically integrated into the spatial structure of the landscape and is perceived as a natural extension of the environment. The genre motif is treated delicately, without disturbing the harmony of the composition, reinforcing the sense of idyllic rural life and contemplative calm.The colour palette is built on a combination of greens, ochres and warm browns with cool bluish reflections in the depth of the forest. The painterly manner is confident and свободная, with expressive impasto passages particularly evident in the illuminated areas of the road and undergrowth, conveying the texture of sand, grass and forest soil. The painting is presented in a period-appropriate frame that harmoniously complements the composition.Signature: Lower right signed and dated “A. Makovskaya 1889”.Dimensions: Canvas 42 x 62 cm. Frame 52 x 72 cm.Material: Oil on canvas.Condition: Good. Previously restored with edge lining and stretcher replacement.Provenance: Private European collection.
