Assayed Moscow, 1886
A vision of Imperial refinement, this rare Russian silver and enamel dessert service embodies the grandeur and artistry of late 19th-century Moscow craftsmanship. Comprising 37 pieces, the service includes teaspoons, butter knives, dessert forks and sugar tongs. Each element reflects the elevated craftsmanship and elegance associated with elite Russian silver production of the late 19th century.
The surface of each piece is richly adorned in a traditional Pan-Slavic foliate and scrolling design rendered in vivid champlevé enamel. Shades of deep blue, green and turquoise create a striking contrast against the polished silver ground. The terminals are crowned with a finely detailed coat of arms beneath a princely crown, accompanied by a banner inscribed “Sempre Alta Lafronte,” reinforcing the service’s aristocratic associations. The set is complete with its original presentation case, lined in velvet and silk.
Produced in Moscow circa 1886, this service reflects the height of Russian decorative silverwork during the Imperial period. Marked with the Cyrillic maker’s initials “UG” and the 88 zolotnik standard, it denotes a high-grade silver purity of .9166 fine. The use of champlevé enamel, combined with heraldic decoration, places this service firmly within the tradition of luxurious presentation silver created for noble and aristocratic households.
