About the Item
This exquisite, historically significant desk is a remarkable piece from the late 19th century, crafted in St. Petersburg around 1870-80. It belonged to Emanuel Nobel, an influential industrialist and the head of Russia's largest company of the time, Branobel, the Nobel family's oil empire. Emanuel was not only instrumental in managing the empire's expansive operations but also played a crucial role in ensuring that his famous uncle Alfred Nobel's will was executed as intended, establishing the legacy of the Nobel Prizes.
Constructed with the finest craftsmanship characteristic of imperial Russia, this desk reflects both the sophistication of its era and the unique story of the Nobel family. The desk’s elegant woodwork, rich finish, and detailed design speak to the prominence and taste of its original owner. It served as a focal point for critical business decisions that shaped Russia's oil industry and later, the establishment of one of the world’s most prestigious awards. This is more than a piece of furniture—it is a tangible link to history, ideal for collectors who appreciate both provenance and the timeless allure of finely made antique furnishings.
