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.

We love our wonderfully esoteric Grotesque man (or "other") crafted by a talented unknown carver in the 19th century from a chunk of the most desirable orange-red toned coral. Connoisseurs of literature or theater or the arts understand the term Grotesque as referring to fantastical, exaggerated or distorted representations, usually of the human face or figure. (The word "grotesque" originates from the Italian "grottesca", meaning of a cave" (grotto = cave in Italian) and refers to doubled, metamorphosed, or altered forms). Originally Italian, the concept of the Grotesque was used in French and German literature as well, and is a an integral part of English literature and theatre (The Theatre of the Grotesque preceded the Theatre of the Absurd) today. We find our Grotesque stickpin guy (gal) to be not grotesque at all but endearing, with his (or her) exaggerated features and droopy skin folds. And as a reference to classic theatre, this coral stickpin...
