This antique notebook cover was crafted in Russia around 1910 from 84 silver, bearing the silversmith’s initials 'H3'. The design draws on the geometric order of early 20th-century modernism and Russian neoclassicism: a rectangular form with a gently raised frame, smooth and subtly matte silver surface, crisp edges, and precise hinges. The front is adorned with an engraved monogram 'NS' and the date '1910 30 IV', while the right side features an integrated cylindrical pencil holder. The construction is compact, with balanced proportions and a consistent finish. The silver shows a gentle, natural patina and a few fine scratches typical of its age. It is preserved in very good condition – no dents or major damage, with the original surface finish intact.This object carries a quiet dialogue with its era, when everyday items gained individuality through engravings and personal inscriptions. The cool silver sheen and balanced lines evoke the atmosphere of late Imperial Russia, a moment when new modern ideas met artisanal tradition. The engraved monogram and date emphasize its personal character, as if the cover silently preserves stories of past notes, while the subtle patina speaks to the passage of time without diminishing its function.The cover can be displayed on a collector’s desk or on a shelf among antiques, harmonizing with fountain pens, inkwells, or early 20th-century glassware. It would complement interiors styled in modernism or classic eclecticism – set among wood, polished brass, or minimalist stationery. It can be paired with simple accessories that highlight its historical air, or placed in a single showcase as a standalone collector’s object.Dimensions
