THRONE-SHAPED SALT CELLAR. CORONATION OF EMPEROR ALEXANDER III RUSSIAN EMPIRE, MOSCOW, 1883
THRONE-SHAPED SALT CELLAR. CORONATION OF EMPEROR ALEXANDER III RUSSIAN EMPIRE, MOSCOW, 1883
A commemorative salt cellar executed in gilt brass, created in connection with the coronation festivities marking the accession of Emperor Alexander III. The body is formed as a stylised throne with a high openwork back, lending the object a pronounced symbolic character and emphasising its memorial function.The backrest is finely engraved with the double-headed eagle of the House of Romanov, depicted with imperial regalia. The heraldic composition is complemented by decorative elements incorporating crosses and star motifs, forming a solemn and official visual programme. The architectural logic of the form is underlined by clear articulation of surfaces and rhythmic ornamental bands.On the front of the base, a Cyrillic inscription “ВЪ ПАМЯТЬ СЕ” (“In Commemoration”) is engraved, a traditional formula used on objects produced for major state occasions. The upper section is fitted with a hinged lid, allowing the piece to be used for its intended purpose. The proportions are well balanced, and the silhouette is austere and monumental, in keeping with the official aesthetic of late Imperial Russian decorative arts.Marks: None observed.Dimensions: Height 14 cm; Length 10 cm.Condition: Good. Gilding with an even, natural patina. Minor signs of age consistent with use. No deformations or losses.Provenance: Coronation celebrations of Emperor Alexander III, Moscow, 1883.

Bronze figure Russian dancer. Paul PHILIPPE 1920
Bronze figure Russian dancer. Paul PHILIPPE 1920
P. Philippe (1870-1930). Chryselephantine figurine. Bronze and ivory. Russian dancer, circa 1920. A magnificent example of Art Deco sculpture. The energetic and impetuous dance has frozen at its climax. The girl has frozen on one leg, grasping the space with her hands. The stormy and extremely truthful plasticity of the fabric is shaded by the smoothness of the bone, open arms and chest. The figure itself is full of expression and twisted in a spiral, where the heavy oriental belt is balanced by the impulse of the body and the tilt of the face. Signature on the foot. CITES certificate. Weight: 890 g France Dimensions: H 290 mm X W 150 mm
