The present lot was produced in the late nineteenth century emulating the style of seventeenth-century silver objects, which explains the inscription related to Nikita Ivanovich Romanov (1607-1654), a cousin of Tsar Mikhail Feodorovich (1596-1645).
The nineteenth century saw a rebirth of interest in Russia’s artistic heritage. This new phenomenon, based on the Golden Age of Russian applied art of the seventeenth century, was known as the Pan-Russian style. Jewellers and silversmiths produced works in a historicist style, which became favoured by the traditionalistic Boyar families and wealthy merchants of Moscow. The popularity of this style reached its peak during the festivities celebrating the tercentenary of Romanov rule in 1913.
