Icon of the Lord Almighty. Silver enamel. Nikolay Grachev. Moscow. circa 1900

The icon of the Lord Almighty, created in Moscow at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, is a half-length image of Christ in the classical iconographic tradition: in his left hand he holds an open book, and blesses with his right hand. The work was made by a professional master in the academic style typical of Moscow workshops of the late 19th century. The silver frame is decorated with a shining enamel crown, and its fields are covered with a relief chased plant ornament. At the bottom of the icon there is a plaque with an inscription made using the technique of pitted enamel. The icon is an example of the neo-Russian style, which combines elements of historicism and Art Nouveau, popular in Russian art at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Hallmarks: silversmith in Cyrillic NG, presumably Nikolai Yegorovich Grachev, Hallmark of the Moscow District Assay Office with the initials of the district manager Ivan Sergeevich Lebedkin, appointed in 1899. Hallmark with the image of a woman`s head in a kokoshnik, facing left, in an oval shield, on the right side are the initials IL, on the left side is the assay value 84. Dimensions: 31x27 cm.

Historical background: Nikolai Egorovich Grachev, owner of a gold and silver workshop, 1897-1917, Russian Empire, Moscow.
