Silver Serving Pieces

A monumental piece of history, this exquisite silver punch set was made for Czar Alexander III as a gift to British Captain Joseph Wiggins. Heavily decorated with rich engravings and proverbs in old Slavic lettering, this service is a grand symbol of celebration and a testament to the beauty of Russian Imperial silver. The punch set, a standalone treasure in its own right, was gifted by Czar Alexander III to Captain Wiggins in recognition of his pioneering expedition along the Enisei River. Driven by a desire to establish a sea route with Siberia, Captain Wiggins’ journey is notable for being the first successful endeavor by a British seaman in 300 years to extend commercial interests with the northern coasts of Russia. Even more notable is the presentation of this elaborate gift by the Russian government to a foreign national, particularly when the British government all but ignored Wiggins' efforts. In fact, the British government refused his modest request for surveying and observational instruments. Even so, the Czar was impressed, and chose to honor Wiggins with this exceptional punch service — as pictured and discussed in Henry Johnson’s book Captain Joseph Wiggins, written in 1907. The service was commissioned by the Czar from the House of Sazikov, the oldest silversmith and jewelry firm in Russia. Sazikov was established in 1793 by the merchant Pavel Sazikov, and became supplier to the Imperial Court in 1837. The firm, which maintained factories in Moscow and St. Petersburg, became renowned for its high quality silverware, silver sculptures, cloisonné enamels and statuettes with national motifs. The firm exhibited several cups and centerpieces at the Great Exhibition of 1851 in London, and from 1846, held the Imperial Warrant. The unique charm of this punch service lies not only in its craftsmanship and historical relevance, but also in the inclusion of old drinking...

A fine quality and wonderfully entertaining ‘Fleur de Poséidon’ / ‘Flower of Poseidon’ mid century silver plated fish-themed caviar set made by Christofle Fleuron in Paris, France, c. 1950-1960. The service displays as a flower whose petals can be removed for serving or tasting caviar, making it not just a visually stunning centrepiece, but also a fantastic interactive conversation piece. The caviar service has six spoons shaped as flower petals that stand upright in a variety of positions in the base: as an open flower, as an orchid, or as a closed flower in the shape of a lotus. In all instances the stylised fish design to the reverse of the spoons creates a very beautiful visual effect. The interior of the spoons is smooth with an elegant ridge to the centre. Intended for serving caviar, they can also be used for serving hors d’oeuvres, amuse-bouches or snacks. The base has a Renaissance-style dolphin to its centre whose curling tail adapts perfectly as a handle for the set. The dolphin is set above a floral fountain design for receiving the caviar spoons, which in turn sits upon an elegant Italianate pedestal. It is hallmarked with the maker’s mark ‘Fleuron France...
