PAIR OF BRONZE FIGURES OF THE IMPERIAL FAMILY’S COSSACK GUARDS RUSSIA, ST PETERSBURG, 1912

A rare pair of full-height bronze figures, executed in cold-painted technique, depicting the Kamer-Cossacks of the Russian Imperial Family’s personal guard — A.A. Kudinov and N.N. Pustynnikov. The figures are shown in full ceremonial uniform with medals and decorations, wearing tall papakha hats and long kaftans enriched with gilt ornament. The composition was inspired by the celebrated commission of Emperor Nicholas II, for whom Henrik Wigström, chief jeweller of Fabergé, created gem-carved miniatures of the Kamer-Cossacks in 1912, presented respectively to the Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna and the reigning Empress Alexandra Feodorovna.

The soles bear inscriptions: “Kamer-Kazakh SV 1894”, “A.A. Kudinov”, “N.N. Pustynnikov”, “Fabergé 1912”.

Marks: Cast inscriptions on the soles: “KAMER-KAZAKH SV 1894”, “A.A. Kudinov”, “N.N. Pustynnikov”, “FABERGÉ 1912”.
