Imperial Russian 84 Zolotniki Silver Gilded Niello Spoon. C. 1908 Kokoshnik Mark

Imperial Russian 84 Zolotniki Silver Gilded Niello Spoon. Beautiful and impressive Niello picture back bowl depicting a Moscow city scene. Elegantly designed with the distinctive twisted stem and bulbous terminal Russian work is noted for. Sadly the makers mark is partially worn.

Hallmarks visible for 84 Zolotniki, Moscow. Vasilii Dmtrev - Russian silversmith, likely associated with the Imperial Russian period. He is known for his silver work, including spoons and a salt, often featuring cloisonné enamel.

The silversmith was active in Moscow between 1899 and 1908. This places the spoon as a 1908 piece. Presented in very good pre-loved antique condition with wear to the parcel gilt and makers mark, as can be seen in my photos. Please see all my photos as they constitute the item description and show the condition of the item. Check out my other listings for more antique and collectable silver.
