Silver and vermeil 84 zolotniks (875 thousandths) oval-shape - Lot 23
Silver and vermeil 84 zolotniks (875 thousandths) oval-shaped handled basket, monogrammed "AN" in Cyrillic. Moscow, circa 1890. Goldsmith: KHLEBNIKOV, with Imperial Court supplier's mark. L. 21.5 cm. Weight: 682 g. Swan hallmark Provenance Narychkin family. Note: The Khlebnikov factory, founded by Ivan Khlebnikov in Moscow in 1871, was also renowned for its silver objects and silverware. It supplied luxury items to the Russian imperial court and was known for its use of the niello technique. It was founded in 1853 in Moscow, Russia, by a silversmith named Ivan Khlebnikov. He founded the company as a silversmith's house specializing in the production of high-quality silverware. After Ivan Khlebnikov's death, the company was taken over by his son, Alexei Khlebnikov, who continued to develop and expand the manufactory's reputation for artistic creations and luxury silverware. The Khlebnikov factory flourished throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries, supplying silverware to the Russian imperial court, aristocratic families and wealthy international clients (many courts in Northern and Eastern Europe, not only Russia but also Denmark, the Netherlands and Serbia). After the Russian Revolution of 1917, many political and social changes took place in Russia, affecting many companies, including the Khlebnikov factory. Under the Communist regime, some companies were nationalized, names were changed or abolished, and Khlebnikov's activity was reduced. The original Khlebnikov factory ceased to operate as an independent family business. However, silverware bearing the "Khlebnikov" or "I. Khlebnikov" can still be found on the antiques market and are highly prized by collectors and art lovers.
