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.

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

SALT CELLAR IN THE FORM OF A THRONE BY THE SAZIKOV FIRM RUSSIA, SAINT PETERSBURG, SECOND HALF OF THE 19TH CENTURY

SALT CELLAR IN THE FORM OF A THRONE BY THE SAZIKOV FIRM RUSSIA, SAINT PETERSBURG, SECOND HALF OF THE 19TH CENTURY

An elegant silver salt cellar executed by the renowned Saint Petersburg firm Sazikov represents a characteristic example of Russian artistic silver of the Historicism period. The object is conceived in the form of a miniature throne with a high shaped back, a stepped base, and a hinged front panel opening to reveal the inner compartment for salt. Such interpretation of a utilitarian object as a throne-like architectural form imparts a ceremonial, almost reliquary character and reflects the стремление of Russian silversmiths of the second half of the 19th century to create works imbued with a pronounced national-historical imagery.The surface is decorated with fine engraving and chased geometric and cross-shaped ornaments associated with the decorative system of the Russian style. The upper section of the back features vertical openwork apertures framed by строгие ornamental motifs.The combination of architectural composition, archaizing ornament and expressive plasticity makes this salt cellar a vivid example of the Russian national-romantic line in decorative arts. Such objects were created not only as tableware but also as камерные artistic images intended for a cultivated collector and for an environment receptive to ideas of historical memory and the aesthetics of Old Russia.Marks: Under the double-headed eagle - “Sazikov”; assay mark “84”; Saint Petersburg city mark - anchor.Dimensions: Height: 5 cm. Width 4 cm.Weight: 81 g.Condition: Good. Gilding even. Minor surface wear and light traces of use consistent with age. Structure preserved.Provenance: Private collection.
