Item Description
A finely crafted Ignaty Sazikov Imperial Russian .84 silver decanter circa 1860 featuring a tall rectangular flask form with canted corners. The entire flask is chased with a scaled pattern with a rectangular medallion engraved in Cyrillic script. The stopper has a cloaked figure finial, standing and drinking from such a flask.
Biography: Upon his Pavel Fedorovich Sazikov's death in 1830, Ignaty took over his father’s Moscow workshop and opened a shop in St Petersburg. Production was focused on tablewares and vertu in the Neo-Russian style, figurative and sculptural works depicting historical and genre scenes, and jewellery.
Once the reins of the firm were firmly in Sazikov’s hands, the company went through an extensive period of transformation and modernisation which gained it great fame. In 1846, Nicholas II endowed the firm with the imperial warrant, making Sazikov the official supplier of the imperial family. In 1851, Sazikov took the gold medal at the world fair in London, and in 1867 was awarded the légion d’honneur at Paris’s Exposition Universelle. Sazikov also had a remarkable reputation in the All-Russian Art Industrial Exhibition, winning medals in 1835, 1849, 1853, 1861 and 1865.
