ICON OF SAINT BLESSED PRINCE ALEXANDER NEVSKY IN A SILVER OKLAD WITH ENAMELS. RUSSIA, 1895

A rare example of Russian iconography from the late 19th century — a full-length icon of Saint Blessed Prince Alexander Nevsky, produced in Moscow in 1895 at the workshop of Ivan Alekseev. The image is painted in oil on wood and set within a rich silver oklad, adorned with delicate chasing, polychrome cloisonné enamel, engraving, and gilding. The saint is depicted in princely attire, holding an orb and sword — symbols of sovereignty and spiritual power. The composition is crowned with an enamel halo and enamel inscriptions. The background is enriched with architectural elements and carpet-like ornamentation.

Hallmarks: Silver hallmark 84 in a rectangular cartouche, Moscow city mark featuring Saint George slaying the dragon, turned right in a shield with beveled corners, Moscow assay office mark with initials of assayer “L.O.” (Lev Oleks; Moscow, 1890–1896) above the date “1895”, and Ivan Alekseevs workshop mark in Cyrillic “ИАА”
