Introducing a cute antique silver piggy with ruby eyes, crafted for the Russian Imperial court by one of Carl Fabergé’s finest jewelers, Julius Rappoport. Julius Rappoport created most of the elegant and funny silver animal figurines for the House of Fabergé. These pieces served various purposes—from wine jugs and bell buttons to lighters and decorative objects—or simply as delightful collectibles. His earliest works date back to 1890. Some of Rappoport’s creations are held in the Kremlin Armory and the Hermitage Museum. His figurines are renowned for their intricate detailing, while Fabergé’s works stand out for their exceptional realism—though the firm was not the first to craft silver animal figures...

Imperial Russian Silver Fish Fabergé, Workmaster Julius Rappoport St. Petersburg, 1908 A rare Imperial Russian silver fish produced by the House of Fabergé and executed by the distinguished workmaster Julius Rappoport, one of the firm’s principal masters responsible for its celebrated silver animal studies. This sculptural figure is finely cast and chased, displaying strong modeling and precise surface articulation. The stylized yet expressive head and compact proportions are characteristic of Rappoport’s animal figures created during the height of Fabergé’s Imperial production. The eyes are set with natural rubies, intact and original. The underside bears a complete and clearly struck set of Imperial Russian hallmarks: • Double-headed eagle (Imperial warrant) • “α” — St. Petersburg Assay Office • Female head facing right — 1908 date mark • 88 silver standard • “Фаберже” in Cyrillic • “I.P.” — maker’s mark for Julius Rappoport The presence of full assay and maker’s marks firmly places the piece in St. Petersburg in 1908, during the mature Imperial period of the firm. Dimensions: Length: 45 mm Width: 27.3 mm Height: 26.5 mm Weight: 18.8 grams Condition: Very good antique condition with light surface wear consistent with age. Hallmarks remain sharp and fully legible. Works by Julius Rappoport are represented in major museum collections, including the Kremlin Armory and the State Hermitage Museum.

* PURCHASED AT CHRISTIE'S, NYC * This diminutive bronze was given **pride of place** astride massive red porphyry columns in the Chicago penthouse of famed philanthropic collectors, James & Marilyn Alsdorf, underscoring Hercules' commanding presence, even when surrounded by life-sized statuary (cf. Christie's Alsdorf Collection video of 8/18/2020 @ 0:08s - 0:10s). ORIGINAL OWNER: CHAIRMAN, ART INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO **1963 AIC MUSEUM LABEL & COLL. NUMBER ATTACHED!!** Nicolo Roccatagliata (c.1593 - c.1636) A Venetian Bronze Statue of Hercules 17th century, Circa 1600 Beginning his metalwork apprenticeship in Genoa at the prodigious age of 10, Nicolo Roccatagliata was a pupil of A. Groppo, later working for Tintoretto. Roccatagliata's darkly patinated bronzes of classical & religious subjects adorn the world's finest museums. Original to the artist's 17th century studio (in contrast to a proliferation of later Grand Tour copies), the present model's late Renaissance date is evinced by the variegated patination, unforced natural modeling, and archaic casting methods (which continued under his son, Sebastiano). Marked by superior rendering of the abdominal musculature & posterior flesh, a 16th century Renaissance contrapposto in Hercules' stance is counterbalanced by an evident trend towards early 17th century mannerism in the stylized treatment of the hair, beard, and eyes. While the Vienna version (provenanced by 1924) is argued by some to be the finest from Roccatagliata's workshop, Yale University's (London, 1958) has finer details. Yet, these details betray the Yale model's origins as a sophisticated product of an 18th/19th century copyist, who worked from an entirely new wax model, recast by later methods, and intricately tooled & reimagined the surface into an almost plastic patina. Still, the Vienna statue...
