SILVER SALT CELLAR “CHAIR”. ALEXANDER MUKHIN RUSSIA, MOSCOW, 1880

SILVER SALT CELLAR “CHAIR”. ALEXANDER MUKHIN RUSSIA, MOSCOW, 1880

An elegant silver salt cellar of rare form, produced at the workshop of Alexander Alexeev MukhIN, a Moscow merchant and owner of a silver manufactory active in the second half of the 19th century, represents a characteristic example of Moscow silver of the Historicist period. The composition takes the form of a miniature chair with a hinged front panel and reflects the established tendency toward the stylization of objects from folk life within the decorative arts of the time.The surface is finely engraved with an imitation of birch bark, executed in the trompe-lœil technique, creating a convincing illusion of natural material. The decorative concept is based on the combination of a “peasant” form with the precision of refined silversmithing typical of Moscow workshops of the late 19th century.The hinged lid is decorated with an ornamental composition centered on an eight-pointed rosette, derived from traditional woodcarving motifs. The pierced backrest and side elements enhance the architectural clarity of the form. The interior is partially gilt.Marks: Maker’s mark “A.M.” (Alexander Alexeev MukhIN) in an oval cartouche, with dots after the initials; Assay mark “A.K.” above a line with the date “1880” (Moscow assay master); State silver mark “84”; Moscow city mark depicting Saint George slaying the dragon; French import mark in the form of a swan in an oval cartouche (import mark applied in France after 1893).Dimensions: Height: 6.5 cm; Width: 6.5 cm; Depth: 4 cm.Weight: 59 g.Condition: Good, with natural patina and minor traces of use.Provenance: Private collection.

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.
