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

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.

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.

ASH TRAY “WAR 1914” BY THE FABERGÉ FIRM RUSSIA, 1914–1915

ASH TRAY “WAR 1914” BY THE FABERGÉ FIRM RUSSIA, 1914–1915

A small circular copper ashtray, executed in stamped technique, featuring a relief depiction of the double-headed eagle - the state emblem of the Russian Empire. The central medallion presents a finely modelled composition with a crowned eagle holding a sceptre and orb, emphasizing the official and symbolic character of the object.Along the perimeter of the medallion are the inscriptions “WAR 1914” and “K. FABERGÉ”, indicating the commemorative purpose of the piece and its association with the name of the Imperial Court supplier. The typographic composition is harmoniously integrated into the relief, enhancing the decorative impact of the object.The form of the ashtray is restrained and functional: a shallow bowl with a gently profiled rim and a concentric layout that draws attention to the central motif. The warm tone of the copper accentuates the depth of the relief and lends the object a distinctive visual presence. The use of stamping technique reflects serial production, characteristic of utilitarian and commemorative items produced during wartime.Objects of this type belong to a group of commemorative and functional items produced during the First World War, when the firm of Carl Fabergé, alongside its renowned jeweled creations, also manufactured objects in base metals intended for the army and for charitable purposes.Marks: Relief inscriptions “WAR 1914” and “K. FABERGÉ”Dimensions: Height: 2.5 cm; Diameter: 11 cmCondition: Good. Minor surface wear, even patina, no deformations
