Two Russian Silver Gilt and Cloisonné Enamel Easter Eggs on Stands

About the Item

Two Russian silver gilt and cloisonné enamel Easter eggs on stands Russian, 20th Century Height 9.5cm, diameter 5cm The two silver gilt and cloisonné enamel eggs showcase Russia’s long tradition of crafting richly decorated Easter eggs. Superbly coloured in tones of red, blue, and white, the eggs are superbly adorned with a selection of floral designs. Large flowers are interspersed with scrolling shapes while in several parts of the eggs are bands of pure white circles. The stands on which these home décor pieces are displayed are of a very similar design, creating cohesion between the two. The silver bodies of the eggs are left uncovered, their darker colouration further highlighting the bold enamel colours. Each egg opens in half to reveal a hollow interior. Both eggs are marked with the ‘84’ zolotnik mark as well as other markings in Cyrillic. The use of the complex technique of cloisonné enamelling as well as the rich design make these two Russian eggs a superb addition to one’s collection.

Pair of Cloisonné Enamel Decorated and Silver Gilt Eggs
Located in London, GB
Pair of cloisonné enamel decorated and silver gilt eggs Russian, 20th Century Height 7cm, diameter 5cm This duo of Russian antique eggs, artfully hand-fashioned from gilded silver and bedecked with painstakingly rendered cloisonné enamel, serve as proud emblems of the nation's rich lineage of gem-studded eggs. Crafted from sterling silver, as attested by the coveted '84' zolotnik stamp, each egg gleams with a seductive sheen, their interiors revealing the full splendour of gilded silver. The enamel floral arabesques, a hallmark of Russian craftsmanship, undulate elegantly across the egg's shell in an intricate ballet. These arabesques are arranged in a patterned circular band around the eggs, with larger circular, floral emblems taking centre stage in the body of the pieces. The bold blues of the enamel - in varying shades, from azure to navy - are offset by vibrant ruby red accents, making for an arresting visual contrast. Deeply rooted in a vibrant cultural tradition, these Russian eggs...
