About Serge Otzoup:
Serge Otzoup (1886-1974), also known as Sergio Otzoup, was a distinguished Russian art collector exiled in Spain. His collection, comprising over 1200 icons from Russia, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Greece, and Romania, stands as a testament to his lifelong dedication and passion for religious art.
Conclusion:
This Orthodox cross is not only a masterpiece of silversmithing and religious art but also a fragment of the rich history of Serge Otzoup's collection. A unique opportunity to own a historical and artistically valuable piece. Perfect for art collectors, museums, or devotees who appreciate the beauty and history of religious icons.
