DESK SILVER NOTEPAD IN OLD RUSSIAN STYLE PETR MILYUKOV, RUSSIA, EARLY 20TH CENTURY

A rare cabinet object — a silver-topped desk notepad mounted on a solid green onyx base, crafted in the Old Russian style by the Moscow workshop of Petr Milyukov. The cover features a detailed repoussé depiction of a majestic bogatyr (epic hero) riding through a dense forest. The composition is enriched with Ural semi-precious stones, inset into the warrior’s helmet, armor, forest foliage and the stylized inscription.

The lower part of the relief bears an archaic inscription in Church Slavonic script:
“The Bogatyr Rides Higher Than the Standing Forest”,
emphasizing the allegorical grandeur of the figure, whose stature dwarfs the very woods he traverses.

The interior holds a complete block of antique gilt-edged paper sheets. The notepad is fully functional and serves as an exceptional example of Russian decorative art.
