SILVER TABLE SERVICE BY G. KLINGERT RUSSIA, MOSCOW, 1908–1917

SILVER TABLE SERVICE BY G. KLINGERT RUSSIA, MOSCOW, 1908–1917

A highly artistic silver table service produced in the workshop of Gustav Klingert, one of the leading Moscow silversmiths of the early 20th century. Crafted in 84-standard silver, the set represents a cohesive, full-weight ensemble of ceremonial tableware, intended for use in the representative interiors of the late Russian Empire.The forms of the pieces follow the classical tradition, with softly profiled contours, balanced proportions and carefully calculated ergonomics. The handles are adorned with relief ornamentation in the spirit of historicist Baroque: elegant vegetal scrolls, stylised foliage and rocaille motifs create a sense of sculptural depth and decorative completeness. The ornamentation remains refined and restrained, organically emphasising the structure of each piece, a hallmark of the finest Moscow silver of the pre-revolutionary period.The set is distinguished by a high standard of craftsmanship: precise detailing, careful chasing, even polishing and preserved silver weight testify to the professionalism of the workshop and its orientation towards a demanding clientele. Compositionally and stylistically, the pieces form a unified ensemble designed for the comprehensive presentation of dishes during formal dinners and ceremonial receptions.Set composition: 10 table spoons, 10 table forks, 6 table knives, 10 dessert spoons, 5 dessert forks, 10 fish knives, 10 fruit knives, 10 fruit forks.Marks: Imperial Russian assay mark with fineness “84”; Moscow city assay mark; maker’s mark “GK” for Gustav Klingert; assay marks of the period 1908–1917.Dimensions: Standard sizes of table and dessert utensils in accordance with formal serving norms of the early 20th century.Weight: 3179 g.Condition: Good. No deformations. Traces of use and light polishing consistent with age. Ornamentation crisp and intact.Provenance: Private collection.
