RUSSIAN SILVER BOX WITH CLOISONNÉ ENAMEL IN THE FORM OF ROOSTERS PAVEL OVCHINNIKOV FIRM, MOSCOW, 1882

A rare example of Russian jewelry art from the late 19th century — a decorative silver box in the Neo-Russian Renaissance style, created in 1882 at the Moscow workshop of the Imperial Court supplier Pavel Ovchinnikov.

The box is richly decorated with polychrome cloisonné enamel on a gilded background. Its square body with chamfered corners rests on four massive bird-claw feet reminiscent of rooster talons. Particular attention is drawn to the two side handles shaped as stylized rooster heads — a vivid example of Neo-Russian decorative vocabulary.

The sides are adorned with alternating arcades, floral elements, and stylized vegetal motifs. The lid is inlaid with a complex enamel medallion featuring a central monogram, framed by geometric and botanical ornaments in a blue-green palette. The interior is entirely gilded.

The piece embodies the stylistic aesthetics of Russian folklore and Orthodox symbolism, masterfully executed in precious material by the finest craftsmen of the late 19th century.
