ABOUT PRODUCTID 4379
This late 19th-century Russian Imperial silver salt cellar embodies the Renaissance Revival style, crafted in the territories of the Tsarist Empire. Made from 84 standard silver and marked with the double-headed eagle and silversmith's initials, the piece exemplifies authenticity and period craftsmanship. Its construction features two shell-shaped bowls, skillfully formed using the repoussé technique and further embellished with fine vegetal engravings. The interiors of the shells are richly gilded, while the broad, lobed base echoes the organic shell motif. A round, central handle is adorned with scrolls and floral ornaments, reflecting Renaissance and Baroque influences. The salt cellar measures 11.4 cm in height, 12 cm in length, 8.4 cm in width, and weighs 80 g. Preserved in excellent condition, it features a refined patina and only minimal traces of use typical for antique silver objects. This salt cellar evokes the refined world of Russian aristocracy: candlelit tables where silver reflected the warm glow, and each crafted detail spoke of household prestige. The shell motif, a symbol of abundance and nature, is rendered with great care, as if narrating tales of luxury and dining ceremony in an era when the Renaissance was
