About the Item

This exquisite sculpture masterfully captures the essence of rural life, featuring an elderly peasant standing proudly, reins held firmly in his hands. Behind him, nestled in a beautifully crafted sleigh, are his son and grandson, with the latter energetically guiding the horses using a whip. Each figure is adorned in traditional peasant attire, which not only adds authenticity but also reflects their connection to the land and their heritage. Their faces are wonderfully expressive, conveying a sense of pride, determination, and the bond of family. The craftsmanship of this outstanding silver sculpture, along with its original marble base, showcases an extraordinary level of artistry. The intricate details are so skillfully rendered that one can almost visualize the steam rising from the horses' nostrils in the crisp, frosty air. The air seems to vibrate with the sound of the horses’ hooves crunching through the fresh snow, creating a vivid auditory backdrop to the scene. As the troika gallops at full speed, it leaves behind distinct impressions of horseshoes on the pristine snow, marking their journey through the wintry landscape. This dynamic movement not only brings the sculpture to life but also invites viewers to imagine the story behind this moment—an intimate glimpse into the daily life and enduring spirit of a hardworking family united by tradition and the rhythms of nature. Notes: There are intact little bell on the yoke of a central horse, and an original detachable hallmarked whip. The original, intricately executed marble base is an integral part of the whole composition. The sculpture was never cleaned or polished, and has an original patina. Markings: Fully hallmarked with maker's marks IS (for Ignaty Sazikov, in Cyrillic), SAZIKOV (in Cyrillic) beneath Imperial warrant, 84 silver standard, and Moscow town crest (circa 1870’s, Postnikova-Loseva #2013) Materials: 84-standard silver (sculpture), Makarov white Ural marble (base). Dimensions: Max. height 7.1 inches (17.75 cm) Height of sculpture 5.75 inches (14.4 cm) Length of sculpture 10.5 inches (26.25 cm) Width of sculpture 7.66 inches (19 cm) Height of base 1.33 inches (3.4 cm) Length of base 10.5 inches (26.25 cm) Width of base 6.25 inches (15.6 cm) Techniques: Casting, embossing, engraving. Provenance: Sotheby’s New York, 1992 Private collection, New York City IGNATY SAZIKOV (1793 - 1868) is undoubtedly one of the most important Russian silversmiths and jewelers of all times. Ignaty Sazikov, the Sazikov firm founder's (Pavel Sazikov) son, was the dynasty's most renowned member, and his talent earned him the unofficial title of Russia's Benvenuto Cellini. Born in Moscow province in 1793, he moved with his family to Moscow where he was apprenticed to his father. At his father’s death in 1830, he inherited his workshop and opened a factory in St. Petersburg and a professional school for eighty goldsmiths and silversmiths. In 1846, the firm received the Imperial Warrant by Tsar Nicholas I, becoming official supplier of the Tsar. The firm produced mainly objects of vertu and exclusive tableware in Neo-Russian style; sculptural and figurative pieces, representing historical themes or genre scenes, as well as icon rizas, and even icon screens for churches. The articles differed in artistic value and prices, ranging from the most ordinary to exclusive ones intended for the royal court and for trade fairs. Sazikov contracted the most prominent Russian artists and sculptors of his time to work on his orders. The firm has also exhibited in several World Fairs - at the Great Exhibition in London in 1851, Ignaty Sazikov received gold medal; and in 1867, he was awarded with the legion d’Honneur at the Exposition Universelle in Paris. One of his most important pieces that won him the golden awards is a desk-size sculpture, representing a trio of horses, created by the great Eugene Lanceray, a famous Russian painter and sculptor. After Ignaty Sazikov death his two sons, Pavel (II) and Sergei took over the business and have managed it until 1887, when the company was sold to the firm of Khlebnikov. Sazikov’s Troika: EXHIBITION In his Decree dated December 11 (22), 1719, Peter the Great set up a state form of storing valuables, which belonged to Russia. According to this Decree, special department, Kammer Collegium, was founded. Its regulations listed the existing valuables and stated the procedure of their storage in the State Treasury, called GOHRAN nowadays. A unique exhibition organized and curated by GOHRAN took place In Moscow in winter of 2014, "The Great Masters of the 19th Century. The Sazikov Jewelry House and its Contemporaries". Today, the work of the Sazikov jewelry house is in the collections of the largest museums in the world - the Moscow Kremlin, the State Hermitage Museum, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, as well as in private collections. However, a special place is occupied by Sazikov’s collection of the Gokhran of Russia. The collection demonstrates the highest level of the masters of the company, their contribution to the development of small sculptures and ornamental art. Sazikov’s Troika: COMMEMORATIVE COIN In 2016, in honor of the Sazikov jewelry company, the Bank of Russia has issued a “Jewelry Art in Russia” commemorative coin, made of 925 silver of a total weight of 169 grams. Featuring on the obverse the famous Troika sculpture by Ignaty Sazikov, the coin was minted at the St. Petersburg Mint and amounted to 850 copies. Sazikov’s Troika: COMMEMORATIVE MEDAL In 2017, Goznak (a Russian joint-stock company responsible for research and development as well as manufacturing security products including banknotes, coins, stamps, identity cards, secure documents, state orders and medal ) has eleased a series of 7 table medals dedicated to illustrious Russian jewelers. One of the medals is dedicated to Ignaty Sazikov. The obverse of the medal depicts the famous sculptural composition "Troika", created by the House of Sazikov after the design and model of no-less famous artist and sculptor, Eugene A. Lansere. Sazikov’s Troika: POSTAL STAMP In 2018, the Russian Post issued a jubilee postage stamp with a face value of 27 Rubles with an image of Sazikov’s most popular sculpture, created by him in bronze and silver for 10 consecutive years (!), from 1870-1880.

Edgardo Simone, (Italian/American, 1890-1948) Classically trained in Italy at the Beaux Arts Academy in Rome from 1906 to 1913, Edgardo Simone became a famous sculptor in Italy and the United States using mediums of terracotta, ceramic, bronze, and plaster. He earned a Doctorate of Design and Sculpture at the Academy and then emigrated to the United States where he worked in New York, Chicago and southern California. His style was influenced by Art Nouveau, Art Deco and other modernist influences.

He had created war and city monuments, and tombstones in twenty-six Italian cities.
