Russian Silver Service in Art Nouveau Style. 13th Moscow Artel. Early 20th Century

This exquisite silver service, created at the beginning of the 20th century, is an outstanding example of Russian jewelry art in the Art Nouveau style. Made by the masters of the 13th Moscow Artel, it combines the elegance of smooth natural lines, decorative plant motifs and complex geometric patterns characteristic of the artistic direction of the era. The decanter is decorated with the finest engraving with plant patterns, intertwined leaves and stylized flowers. The base of the product is complemented by openwork cutout elements, giving it lightness and sophistication. The decanter handle is made in a complex curved shape, characteristic of Art Nouveau, and is equipped with stylized curls. The glasses (12 pieces) are decorated with engraved plant and geometric motifs. The upper part of the body is decorated with a complex geometric pattern in the form of spiral elements, creating the impression of movement. The tray has an asymmetrical shape with elegant engraved details: stylized leaves, geometric figures and intricate patterns. The service includes a decanter, a tray and a set of 12 silver glasses. A distinctive feature of the set is not only the highest quality of execution, but also a dedication inscription on the decanter body, testifying to its historical significance: In fond memory of my dear beloved father, commander Vasily Petrovich Logvinov, From the sincerely devoted and loving Cossacks of the Life Guards 1st Kuban Cossack Hundred of His Majesty`s Own Convoy.
