Large Oak Box with Silver Military-style Romanov Double-headed Eagles, c 1900

About the Item

The hinged lid applied with a military Russian Tsar Alexander III-style Romanov eagle in silver above crossed cannons, (see description below), two sides applied with a smaller silver double headed eagle of similar inspiration, the rectangular oak box with dovetailed corners. The vacant interior is fitted in green velvet with brass lock (key missing) 9 ¾ x 6 x 6 in. (24.8 x 15.2 x 15.2 cm) (w x l x h) Cross above Romanov crown on larger eagle is missing. The silver is stamped with Fabergé hallmarks which are possibly authentic. However, we do not guarantee that these are real hallmarks or claim that the box is by Fabergé. A faithful rendition of Imperial Russia’s most enduring symbol, this version of the eagle was introduced under Tsar Alexander III (1881-94). Surmounted by the Imperial Crown and clutching an Orb and Scepter, the eagle bears a shield of Saint George slaying the Dragon (the arms of Moscow), surrounded by the Imperial Collar of the Order of St Andrew, and on its splayed wings clockwise from top right, the arms of Astrakhan, Siberia, Georgia, Finland, the “three ancient principalities” of Kiev, Vladimir and Lord Novgorod the Great united on one shield, Tauride Chersonesus (Crimea), Poland and Kazan. The crossed cannons denote a military designation.
