About the Item

This magnificent Russian Vladimir Mother of God Icon (Владимирская икона) is by prominent Imperial Russia Silversmith Egor Cheryatov - Георгий (Егор) Кузьмич Черятов, who stands among the most distinguished silversmiths / enamellers of Imperial Russia, on par with Faberge Ovchinnikov AN ARTISAN Egor Cheryatov who was first a chief jeweller silversmith at Lorie – a renowned Moscow jewellery firm store, neighbouring with С. Faberge’s store. Working at the height of Russia’s 19th-century artisanal excellence, Egor Cheryatov was part of a flourishing Moscow tradition serving both the aristocracy and the Orthodox Church. His silverwork is distinguished by technical precision and disciplined ornamentation, combining European classical influences with unmistakably Russian motifs. Adhering to strict hallmarking standards, he ensured material purity and clear attribution, enhancing his professional standing. This appealed to Imperial Russia’s elite: he built his reputation supplying high-quality functional and ceremonial objects for a discerning clientele Following the Russian Revolution of 1917, Cheryatov continued to work, adapting his practice to the radically changed political and economic environment. By 1924 he employed 7 people in his workshop. His ability to remain active during this transitional era reflects both professional resilience and sustained demand for skilled silversmiths. Today, Cheryatov’s works are prized as authentic expressions of Imperial Russian silver and its cultural confidence.
