19th Century Russian Silver Niello Tankard, Moscow, 1854

About the Item

This exquisite antique tankard dates back to the 19th century Imperial Russia and is crafted from solid silver adorned with intricate niello work. The tankard features a traditional form, characterized by its elegant and robust C-shaped handle, which terminates in a large, ornate thumb-piece for ease of use. The body of the tankard is beautifully engraved with detailed depictions of famous Moscow landmarks, showcasing the craftsmanship and artistic talent of the period. The sides and top of the lid are richly chased with elaborate foliate decorations, adding a touch of natural beauty to the piece. A notable feature is the presence of a cockerel among the foliate patterns, symbolizing vigilance and pride, which is artfully integrated into the design. This tankard is not only a functional beverage container but also a stunning work of art that reflects the opulence and cultural heritage of Imperial Russia. It would have been a prized possession, likely used for special occasions or as a decorative item, highlighting the owner's status and appreciation for fine craftsmanship.
