About the Item
This workmaster Ivan Khlebnikov gilt cloisonne enamel egg pendant is a unique piece that echoes the style craftsmanship of Medieval Russia. Crafted in the 19th century in the Russian Empire, Moscow, it is a scarce find for any antique jewelry enthusiast.
Ivan Petrovich Khlebnikov was born in 1819. His father, Pyotr Khlebnikov, had his jewelry production. Young Ivan worked in his father's organization from a young age and then ran his business. Ivan Petrovich was 52 years old when he opened the Moscow Jewelry Factory in 1871. Ivan Petrovich, who had been engaged in the trade of precious works for about 40 years, acquired outstanding technical knowledge in many areas of jewelry art. Khlebnikov's fame and success grew incredibly quickly. A year after the opening, the organization officially began to present jewelry to the court of Grand Duke Konstantin Nikolaevich, brother of Emperor Alexander II. A year later, Khlebnikov's products were highly appreciated in Europe. By the time of his death in 1881, Ivan Khlebnikov had served as the official supplier of the Imperial Russian family, the Grand Dukes, and the sovereigns of Denmark, the Netherlands, Serbia, and Montenegro. Khlebnikov’s international acclaim stemmed from the numerous exhibitions he participated in, especially those in Vienna (1873) and Moscow (1872) - he won two gold medals at each of these. His company was known for producing decorative silver and enamel work, which reinvented traditional Russian style and folk art through originality and a colorful palette. In particular, Khlebnikov was known for immaculate plique-à-jour and cloisonné enamel, and for works produced in the Russian and Modern styles.
In the last photo, we have given examples of all the hallmarks of the Khlebnikov factory, which was produced from 1874 to 1917. And these are not even all the known examples. The enterprise, unfortunately for collectors, used a large number of hallmark punches. The coat of arms of the Grand Duke Konstantin Nikolaevich can be displaced next to the manufacturer's name, and the double-headed eagle appeared in 1879. The hallmark on our egg pendant in Cyrillic "И.Х" (in the last photo, number 1) was put from 1874 to 1879. After the death of Ivan Petrovich in 1882, the short hallmark with initials was not put, but only Cyrillic «ХЛЕБНИКОВЪ» или «ХЛЕБНИКОВЪ СЪ СЫНми и К°». The methodology for studying hallmarks developed at the Moscow State Research Institute of Restoration and the constantly expanding database allows for a comparative analysis of hallmarks of both the names and assay supervision. For example, the hallmarks (in the last photo, 1 and 5), despite all the apparent differences, were affixed by the same hallmark punch but with different striking forces.
The loop in the egg and the pendant ring are twice stamped with hallmarks (master's marks, silver hallmarks, and the mark of the city of Moscow).
Length: 20 mm (without loop)
Width: 16 mm
The weight is 4.7 grams
The egg pendant is in good vintage condition. An unusual, beautiful piece of art.
