About the Item
This is an extremely unusual Imperial Russian silver perfume bottle, crafted in the form of an elephant figurine, a truly exceptional find for collectors of late 19th-century Russian silver. The bottle is shaped like an elephant, adorned with ruby eyes. The figurine is cast and chased with astonishing realism, and the ruby stones add a touch of luxury.
The figurine bears the marks of its authenticity, with the workmaster's initials 'HX', assayer's initials 'D:C/1873', and the imperial Russian silver standard, '84', placed at the bottom of the bottle.
'HX' - Unknown master. We were unable to reliably identify the craftsman of this piece. It's possible it was Nikifor Khristov (Никифор Христов); he had a similar Cyrillic hallmark, "НХ".
'D:C/1873' - This is possibly the assay master Dmitry Suvorov (Дмитрий Сувовров), and the year of assaying is 1873.
The pheasant-bird dimension is approximately 74.5 mm in height.
Total weight: 104 g.
This antique Russian silver piece is not just a work of art, but a highly sought-after, exceptionally rare collectible. Its unique design and historical significance make it a perfect addition to any collection, promising to enhance its beauty and value.
