Rare Faberge Silver-Gilt and Opaque Enamel Kovsh
Estimate: 5000-7000€Fabergé Silver-Gilt and Enamel Kovsh Moscow, ca. 1899–1908. Silver-gilt, opaque enamel. Dimensions: 4 × 11.4 × 7 cm. Weight: 128.6 g
A refined silver-gilt kovsh, its body cloaked in a deep opaque blue enamel, accented with applied silver ornament and bead motifs. Its shaped handle is richly modeled with scrollwork and bears a cabochon accent, uniting traditional Russian form with decorative finesse.
The kovsh, historically a Russian ladle-like vessel, was revived in late 19th-century decorative arts as a symbol of national identity. Fabergé’s Moscow workshops elevated the form by combining classical silhouettes with high-quality enameling and luxurious silver detailing.
Comparable example: A blue opaque enamelled covsh parcel-gilt and set with seed pearls, marked Fabergé with the Imperial warrant (Moscow, 1908–1917, scratched inventory number 24699) was sold at Christie’s for 181,250 GBP. That kovsh features blue biscuit enamel bands, clusters of raised leaves in oxidized silver, and seed-pearl decoration in the Old Russian style. https://www.christies.com/en/lot/lot-5091445Starting price: 4500€
