Silver salt cellar in the form of a chair in Old Russian style, Vasily Ivanovich Ivanov Moscow, Russia, 1885

Silver salt cellar in the form of a chair in Old Russian style, Vasily Ivanovich Ivanov Moscow, Russia, 1885

An elegant silver salt cellar of rare form, executed as a miniature chair with a hinged cover, represents a refined example of Moscow silverwork of the Historicism period. The composition is conceived as a stylized seat with an openwork back, a rectangular salt compartment and a folding front panel, lending the object architectural clarity and symbolic character.Particular attention is drawn to the pierced back executed in the Old Russian style. The central panel is engraved with a flowering tree surmounted by two symmetrically placed birds - a motif rooted in folk art traditions and symbolizing abundance, fertility and harmony. This decorative element harmoniously interacts with the openwork foliate scrolls and the serrated upper edge reminiscent of traditional wood carving.The base is adorned with a relief floral ornament and softly profiled contours enhancing the decorative unity of the piece. The hinged cover is finely engraved and reveals a gilt interior, creating a striking contrast with the silver surface and emphasizing the ceremonial character of the object.Marks: Maker’s mark “VI” for Vasily Ivanovich Ivanov, Moscow, active 1870–1908; assay mark with initials “V.P” over a line and date “1885”; standard mark “84”; Moscow city mark depicting St. George slaying the dragon.Dimensions: Height: 6 cm; length: 6 cm.Weight: 67 g.Condition: Good. Partial wear to gilding and minor surface wear consistent with age. No structural damage or losses.Provenance: Private collection.
