Antique Pre Russian Revolution Cloisonne Hand Engraved 84 Silver Cigarette Case:
$2500.00


Czarist Russia,pre revolution, signed, one-of-a-kind cigarette case. Completely handmade. Each and every wire hand drawn, formed and soldered to thecase, then finished in cloisonné and gilded. It measures approximately 25/8 inches by 3 3/4 inches and was presented as a gift November 13,1908. It is marked 84 (the Russian mark for silver), has a Russianlady with a babushka (kokoshnik) facing toward the 84 mark. The lady facing left towards the 84 mark means that the piece was made in Moscow. As you can see from the images, the maker\'s mark isCyrillic, but looks like the letters “CW”. Our researchshows the maker is Sergey Shaposhnikov and it was made between 1895and 1908.

Items of thisnature are very rare to begin with due to the expertise and timerequired to make them...and when the Russian Revolution broke out in1918, many beautiful pieces such as this were destroyed. Those piecesfortunate enough to escape destruction immediately became even morerare, desirable and valuable. This is a rare and beautiful museumpiece.

As a side note,if you could find a jeweler who could hand-fabricate this cigarettecase with the same degree of beauty, you would be looking at paying aminimum of $10,000.00, and it would not be an antique, or have thehistory that this has. Wouldn\'tit be amazing if you did some research and discovered who this waspresented to?
