SILVER CABINET FIGURE OF A KNIGHT GERMANY, HANAU, EFES, TURN OF THE 19TH - 20TH CENTURIES

An elegant silver cabinet figure of a knight created in the tradition of German Historicism of the first quarter of the 20th century. The sculpture depicts a warrior in full ceremonial armor holding a sword and shield, standing on an architectural pedestal of complex polygonal form. The figure is executed with pronounced decorative expressiveness: the cuirass, lamellar elements of the thigh armor, richly ornamented pauldrons and the helmet with a plume are carefully modeled. The silver surface is worked in repoussé and partially chased techniques, creating a refined play of light and emphasizing the relief structure of the armor.A distinctive artistic feature of the object is the face carved from ivory. This contrast of materials, typical of German cabinet sculpture from the late 19th to early 20th century, enhances the effect of polychromy and gives the figure a vivid and theatrical character. The shield is decorated with a relief depiction of an armored hand with a weapon, while the pedestal is enriched with cartouches, mascarons and small sculptural figures of fantastic animals placed at the corners. The entire composition reflects the aesthetics of Renaissance armorial and funerary sculpture reinterpreted within the tradition of Hanau collectible silver.Marks: Maker’s mark of the Efes workshop; German state silver marks in the form of a crescent and crown; silver standard mark “800”.Dimensions: Height 29.5 cm. Width 10 cm.Weight: 840 g.Condition: Good collectible condition.Provenance: Private collection, Hesse. Expert report: Dr Daniel Suebsman, 2025. CITES certificate available.

SILVER TOBACCO BOX WITH ENAMEL DECORATION CHINA, EARLY 20TH CENTURY

An exquisite silver box of rectangular form with gently rounded corners, decorated on both sides with polychrome enamel. The enamel decoration is composed of lush floral arrangements featuring fully blossomed peonies, buds, and dense foliage. The ornament is applied to both the lid and the reverse side, forming a cohesive decorative ensemble.The composition is executed in a manner characteristic of Chinese decorative art, with softly modelled petals and subtle tonal gradations. The peonies, rendered in lilac-purple and white tones with green foliage, are associated in Chinese artistic tradition with notions of honour, wealth, rank, and prosperity. In museum descriptions, they are often identified as one of the most significant auspicious motifs in Chinese decorative arts.The smooth silver side panels form a restrained frame for the enamel plaques. The hinge is neatly constructed, and the lid closes tightly. The object was intended for storing tobacco or smoking accessories and belongs to the category of Chinese export silver of the early 20th century, a period when decorative works in metal, enamel, lacquer, and porcelain were actively produced for both the domestic market and international trade.Marks: Absent or indistinct on the present example.Dimensions: Length: cm; Width: cm; Height: cm.Weight: g.Condition: Good. Minor signs of use. The enamel is well preserved, with possible minimal age-related hairline cracks.Provenance: Private collection.

GOLD CIGARETTE CASE BY THE FIRM E. BURKHARD RUSSIA, SAINT PETERSBURG, EARLY 20TH CENTURY

An impressive gold cigarette case, crafted in 56 zolotnik gold (14K) by the firm E. BURKHARD, represents a high-quality and characteristic example of pre-revolutionary Russian jewellery production of the early 20th century. The piece features an expressive two-tone treatment combining yellow and rose gold and is decorated with a relief chevron pattern (gadrooned chevron), forming a clear diagonal rhythm across the surface.The geometrisation of form, pronounced constructive character of the ornament and strict organisation of planes reflect the transitional artistic language from late Art Nouveau to early Art Deco. The contrast between matte and polished surfaces enhances the decorative expressiveness and highlights the technical precision of execution.The cigarette case is fitted with a push-button clasp set with a natural sapphire cabochon, emphasising its representative and status-oriented character. The interior is fully gilded. The hinge and clasp construction shows precise fitting and reliable engineering, characteristic of high-grade factory workmanship intended for a discerning and affluent clientele, including officers and senior officials.Hallmarks: Trade mark “E. BURKHARD” in a rectangular cartouche; Saint Petersburg District Assay Office mark in an oval shield with the fineness “56”, kokoshnik head and the Greek letter “α”; Maker’s mark “VK”, attributed to an unidentified craftsman working for the firm E.
