By the 18th century, Russian silversmiths were producing finely crafted objects that combined Western European techniques with traditional Russian motifs. The 19th century marked a peak in production, especially during the Imperial era, when workshops in Moscow and St. Petersburg created elaborate silver objects for both domestic use and ceremonial purposes. Russian silver from this period often reflects national identity through the use of historical styles, religious symbolism and decorative traditions. This rich history continues to make antique Russian silver an important category within European decorative arts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"1b7hljw\" data-start=\"1679\" data-end=\"1714\"\u003eHow to Identify Russian Silver\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1715\" data-end=\"2427\"\u003eCollectors interested in Russian silver benefit from understanding the hallmarking system and stylistic characteristics that define these works.

Heavily decorated with rich engravings and proverbs in old Slavic lettering, this service is a grand symbol of celebration and a testament to the beauty of Russian Imperial silver.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The punch set, a standalone treasure in its own right, was gifted by Czar Alexander III to Captain Wiggins in recognition of his pioneering expedition along the Yenisei River. Driven by a desire to establish a sea route with Siberia, Captain Wiggins’ journey is notable for being the first successful endeavor by a British seaman in 300 years to extend commercial interests with the northern coasts of Russia. Even more notable is the presentation of this elaborate gift by the Russian government to a foreign national, particularly when the British government all but ignored Wiggins' efforts. In fact, the British government refused his modest request for surveying and observational instruments. Even so, the Czar was impressed, and chose to honor Wiggins with this exceptional punch service — as pictured and discussed in Henry Johnson’s book \u003cem\u003eCaptain Joseph Wiggins\u003c\/em\u003e, written in 1907. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The service was commissioned by the Czar from the House of Sazikov, the oldest silversmith and jewelry firm in Russia. Sazikov was established in 1793 by the merchant Pavel Sazikov, and became supplier to the Imperial Court in 1837. The firm, which maintained factories in Moscow and St. Petersburg, became renowned for its high quality silverware, silver sculptures, cloisonné enamels and statuettes with national motifs. The firm exhibited several cups and centerpieces at the Great Exhibition of 1851 in London, and from 1846, held the Imperial Warrant. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The unique charm of this punch service lies not only in its craftsmanship and historical relevance, but also in the inclusion of old drinking proverbs in Slavic. From \"The heart burns at the thought of wine\" to \"Good fellowship is better than wealth,\" these sayings — inscribed on the cups and ladles of the set — add a touch of cultural richness and reflect the convivial spirit of the meeting. Further inscriptions offer credit to Wiggins for his endeavors. The edge of the tray is inscribed by the Russian Naval Ministry and reads: “To Captain Wiggins from the Imperial Russian Naval Ministry. In memory of the voyage in 1893 to the mouth of the river Enisei, jointly with the ships of the Imperial fleet, Lieutenants Ovtsyn, Malygin and Skuratov.” The center of the tray features another laudatory inscription from the Royal Geographic Society: “This salver was presented to Captain Joseph Wiggins, F.R.G.S., Siberian explorer, by the Czar of Russia, 1894, and left by Captain Wiggins to the Royal Geographical Society, England, Sept. 1905.” \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Hallmarked 1874-75 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 9\" high x 19 7\/8\" diameter on tray \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Provenance:\u003cbr\u003e Czar Alexander III\u003cbr\u003e Private collection of Captain Wiggins\u003cbr\u003e Royal Geographical Society, England\u003cbr\u003e Private collection of Victor Niederhoffer\u003cbr\u003e M.S.
