Description
Malachite jewellery casket with gilded silver mount. Russian School. 19th century Malachite with gilded 875/000 silver mount. Dimensions: 9.5 x 7 x 4.2 cm. A rectangular jewellery casket with a hinged lid and a compact structure, crafted from polished malachite with irregular veins in deep green tones, framed by an elegant gilded silver mount. The composition is distinguished by the harmonious proportions of its elements, with softly moulded profiles that create a sense of visual rhythm. The smooth surfaces and satin sheen of the materials enhance its decorative refinement. The underside and edges bear stamped marks, including the Russian guarantee hallmark and the maker’s mark, certifying its origin and quality. The technical execution reveals meticulous craftsmanship, with precise assembly of the stone and metal. The combination of malachite and gilded silver reflects the luxurious taste of late Imperial Russia, where such objects were incorporated into aristocratic interiors as symbols of status. Its understated design and careful craftsmanship echo the eclectic historicism of the late 19th century, blending ornamental tradition with artisanal excellence. A piece of exquisite presence, of interest both as a decorative object and to collectors.
