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.

Icon 12 principal Christian feastIn the central part of the icon is the Introduction to the Church of Our Lady of Sorrows and Virgin Mary. In the center of the icon is the three-year-old Virgin Mary, who was brought to the temple by Her parents - Joachim and Anna. For a long time they were childless and took a vow: if the Lord gives them parental happiness, then they will devote the Infant to God. It was a sacrifice - to give their only, long-awaited child. The icon shows the fulfillment of a promise: Joachim and Anna bring little Mary to the temple, where the Jerusalem priest meets the family. According to Church Tradition, he was the righteous Zacharias, the future father of John the Baptist, therefore, on the icon, his head is surrounded by a halo. Behind the priest is the Holy Gates of Saints (a special place in the Jerusalem temple), where the main shrines of the Jewish people were stored in the ark.In the upper part is the icon of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary.In the lower part of the Icon Assumption of the Blessed Virgin MaryIn the circle of the central part of the icon of saints: Tatiana, Sandra, Anna, Paul, Catherine, Mary Magdalene.Material: wood, gesso, tempera, Palekh, XIX century

PAIR OF CANDELABRA WITH FIGURES OF PARADISE BIRDS RUSSIA, 19TH CENTURY
PAIR OF CANDELABRA WITH FIGURES OF PARADISE BIRDS RUSSIA, 19TH CENTURY
A monumental pair of gilt bronze candelabra, each surmounted by a sculptural figure of a paradise bird with wings outstretched. The composition of each piece is structured around a central baluster richly decorated with relief ornament, rising from a multi-tiered base supported by elegantly curved feet adorned with elaborate vegetal motifs. The upper section is formed as a crown of gracefully scrolling candle arms terminating in drip pans, each embellished with elongated clear crystal pendants that enhance the play of light and impart a distinctly ceremonial character.The birds are rendered with pronounced attention to the plasticity of the plumage and the dynamism of the silhouette, aligning these works with the traditions of Russian Historicism and the romantic interpretation of natural motifs characteristic of 19th century decorative arts. The ornamental vocabulary of the bodies includes stylized foliage, fluting and medallions, typical of high-quality bronze production of the period.Dimensions: Height: 52.5 cm. Width: 32 cm. Depth: 70 cm.Condition: Good condition. The gilding is evenly preserved with a natural age-related patina and minor signs of wear consistent with use. The crystal pendants are largely intact, with possible minimal losses that do not affect the overall visual impression.Provenance: Private European collection.
