About the Item
This Magnificent Antique XIXc 1890 Russian Silver Icon
is hallmarked 84 zolotnik, Moscow,
bearing an assay mark of Anatoly Apollonovich Artsybashev
maker's mark in Cyrillic “B.C.”
for Vasily Semenov - Василий Семёнов –
who was a renowned silversmith of Moscow
a father of Maria Semenova - Мария Семёнова –
one of the most prominent silversmiths of Imperial Russia,
specialised in enamelling work,
which was on par with Faberge
Ovchinnikov…
The icon depicts Pokrov -
the Protection of the Most Holy Mother of God
Saints.
The protecting veil of the Mother of God surrounds everybody
with a scared omophorion,
giving divine protection, security, safety
grace.
It protects from an evil eye, misfortune
any trouble.
84 silver riza / oklad is incredibly detailed:
(every tiny crease of clothing is clearly visible)
with halos, meticulously detailed
finely engraved,
angels’ wings, Saints’ sleeves
other pieces of clothing crisp
showcased with exceptional attention to details
Underneath is fully painted,
with faces of the Mother of God
Saints intricate
so lifelike…
Oklad is measuring 35cm x 30.5cm,
with an estimated silver weight of 1.5kg.
It’s inside a solid wooden case,
that measures 37.5cm x 42.5cm x 6.5cm
Superb
exceptionally rare,
as there are only a few icons that illustrate that particular subject,
especially in this size
in such opulence…
Besides, it’s in remarkable condition
