CRYSTAL JUG WITH SILVER, 13TH ARTEL RUSSIA, MOSCOW, EARLY 20TH CENTURY
CRYSTAL JUG WITH SILVER, 13TH ARTEL RUSSIA, MOSCOW, EARLY 20TH CENTURY
An exquisite crystal jug with a silver mount represents a striking example of the high level achieved by Russian decorative and applied arts in the early 20th century. The object demonstrates a refined and deliberate reinterpretation of Western European historical styles, characteristic of Moscow silver workshops of the Late Historicism period. The composition combines classical restraint with decorative elegance, inspired by motifs of the Early French Renaissance.The proportionally expanded body of transparent crystal is adorned with deep diamond-cut and vegetal engraving, creating a rich play of light while emphasizing the functional purpose of the vessel. The silver collar of the neck is executed in a restrained manner and decorated with classical garlands seemingly suspended along the lower edge, lending the form architectural clarity and ceremonial dignity. A Renaissance-style ornamental band at the rim harmoniously complements the gently curved handle, whose subtly modern character reflects the stylistic transition of the era.A distinctive accent is provided by the garnet finial crowning the lid - an elegant detail symbolically associated with fertility, blossoming, and abundance, themes of particular significance within Renaissance tradition. This refined artistic gesture reinforces the association of the jug with formal table settings and celebratory beverages such as cherry juice, punch, or red wine. The jug is perceived not merely as a utilitarian object, but as an independent artistic focal point conceived for festive occasions.Hallmarks: State assay mark of the Moscow Assay Office for secondary elements and fittings, silver standard “84”, period 1908-1926; Maker’s mark “13A” (13th Artel); Inside the lid - repeated Moscow Assay Office mark and maker’s mark “13A”.Dimensions: Height: 29 cm, Width: 16 cm, Depth: 13 cmCondition: Good. The crystal shows no cracks or restorations. The silver elements retain an even time patina, without deformation.Provenance: Private collection.

UNIQUE MANTEL CLOCK WITH SOLAR ALLEGORY. MODEL ATTRIBUTED TO CARLO ROSSI RUSSIAN EMPIRE, SAINT PETERSBURG, PERIOD OF NICHOLAS I, 1825-1855
UNIQUE MANTEL CLOCK WITH SOLAR ALLEGORY. MODEL ATTRIBUTED TO CARLO ROSSI RUSSIAN EMPIRE, SAINT PETERSBURG, PERIOD OF NICHOLAS I, 1825-1855
A monumental mantel clock of the Late Russian Empire style, conceived within the artistic system associated with the design models of Carlo Rossi (1775-1849). The architectonics of the work are constructed upon a strict vertical axis and imbued with solar symbolism characteristic of court art of the 1830s-1840s.The composition is formed by two volumes of deep sapphire cobalt glass attributed to the Imperial Glass Factory of Saint Petersburg. The lower massive cylindrical body is decorated with a deeply cut diagonal spiral faceting, creating a dynamic effect of flowing water and the passage of time. The plastic rhythm of the glass reinforces the leitmotif of the wave as a symbol of continuity and eternal circulation.The central section features a gilt dial with Roman numerals, surrounded by a wreath of stylized vegetal ornament and a radiant solar composition. Two allegorical figures, male and female, support the upper vessel. Their gestures are directed toward the source of light, forming a cosmogonic image of the luminary rising from the waters. The iconography relates to the theme of Helios and the symbolism of Alpha and Omega, affirming harmony, love and fertility.The upper section takes the form of a cobalt glass vase crowned with an openwork gilt bronze frieze enriched with vegetal and solar motifs. The bronze elements display refined chasing and high-quality fire gilding characteristic of Saint Petersburg workshops of the first half of the nineteenth century.Marks: Not found.Dimensions: Height: 43 cm; Width: 30 cm; Depth: 20 cm.Material: Gilt and polished bronze; cobalt glass attributed to the Imperial Glass Factory; clock mechanism with pendulum.Condition: Good. Even gilding. Minor wear to the base. Minor micro-chips to the pedestal of the glass section, not affecting the overall visual integrity or structural stability of the piece.Provenance: Private European collection.Literature: Igor Sychev.

DESK JEWELRY CASKET WITH SÈVRES PORCELAIN PLAQUES FRANCE, FIRST HALF OF THE 19TH CENTURY, CIRCA 1830
DESK JEWELRY CASKET WITH SÈVRES PORCELAIN PLAQUES FRANCE, FIRST HALF OF THE 19TH CENTURY, CIRCA 1830
An impressive desk jewelry casket executed in the opulent palatial manner of French decorative art of the Restoration period. The complex curvilinear body is crafted from finely selected rosewood, veneered in a striking diagonal pattern that enhances the sculptural volume and highlights the richness of the wood grain. The structure rests on four substantial sculptural feet in gilt bronze, modeled with pronounced Baroque scrolls and acanthus leaves.The surfaces are lavishly enriched with finely cast and chased gilt bronze mounts of high quality. Central to the decorative program are porcelain plaques from the Manufacture nationale de Sèvres, set within ornate gilt bronze frames. The polychrome paintings, executed on a blue ground, are devoted to themes of amorous lyricism: lush floral bouquets and playful putti, evoking the refined gallant imagery of the 18th century reinterpreted through the lens of early 19th-century taste.Particular attention is drawn to the porcelain plaque adorning the lid, featuring an exceptionally delicate floral composition. The painting is signed “BARRE SÈVRES,” allowing attribution to the Sèvres painter Barre, active during the first third of the 19th century. Signed plaques of this kind were reserved for objects of high representational status and were frequently commissioned for prestigious pieces of furniture and decorative works intended for aristocratic interiors.The interior of the casket is designed for the storage of jewelry and precious objects. A hinged front panel provides convenient access while preserving the monumentality and coherence of the exterior form. The casket stands as a refined example of the synthesis of cabinetmaking, gilt bronze work, and porcelain painting characteristic of leading French workshops of the period.Marks: Signed porcelain plaque: “BARRE SÈVRES”.Dimensions: Height 32 cm; width 58 cm; depth 36 cm.Condition: Good. Overall well preserved. Minor signs of age and use. Gilt bronze with even period patina. Porcelain plaques without chips or cracks.Provenance: France. Likely produced for an aristocratic interior or a formal salon in the first half of the 19th century.
