This Magnificent Antique XIXc 1890 Russian Silver Icon
is hallmarked 84 zolotnik, Moscow,

for Vasily Semenov - Василий Семёнов –

which was on par with Faberge & Ovchinnikov…
The icon depicts Pokrov -
the Protection of the Most Holy Mother of God & Saints.
The protecting veil of the Mother of God surrounds everybody
with a scared omophorion,
giving divine protection, security, safety & grace.
It protects from an evil eye, misfortune & any trouble.

(every tiny crease of clothing is clearly visible)
with halos, meticulously detailed & finely engraved,
angels’ wings, Saints’ sleeves & other pieces of clothing crisp &
showcased with exceptional attention to details
Underneath is fully painted,
with faces of the Mother of God & Saints intricate & so lifelike…
Oklad is measuring 35cm x 30.5cm,
with an estimated silver weight of 1.5kg.
It’s inside a solid wooden case,
that measures 37.5cm x 42.5cm x 6.5cm
Superb & exceptionally rare,
as there are only a few icons that illustrate that particular subject,
especially in this size & in such opulence…
