Russian Works of Art



We have been using the holiday season to search our store rooms for pieces to fill our cabinets, lots of unrestored Icons, many brass Icons and crosses, 19th century lacquer boxes and more painted and carved wooden items from Abramtsevo. We have quite a lot of 18th and 19th silver pieces, porcelain from Gardner figures through to the 1960's with some rather unusual and rare items. We have a set of Ballet figures in the window at the moment and of course many silver cigarette cases from Imperial through to the Revolution. Just arriving ...a set of four Faberge decanters.
