Length: 21.4 cm
Weight: 84 gThe Sazikov firm was founded in Moscow in 1793 by Pavel Fedorovich Sazikov, a silversmith and merchant. In 1810 he established a factory and shop for silverware, later inherited by his son Ignaty Pavlovich Sazikov (1793–1868), one of the most distinguished jewelers of mid-19th century Russia. Ignaty expanded production, introduced specialization of labor and modern equipment, and established a training department for craftsmen. He also collaborated with leading sculptors and artists, including Ivan Vitali and Pyotr Klodt, to create designs.
By the mid-19th century, the firm was considered among the finest Russian jewelers and a pioneer of the national style in decorative arts. It earned numerous gold medals at Russian industrial exhibitions (1835–1865) and international recognition, including a gold medal and the Order of the Legion of Honor at the 1851 London and 1867 Paris World Exhibitions. Sazikov’s small-scale sculpture on Russian themes became especially celebrated.
After Ignaty’s death in 1868, the firm passed to his sons Sergei, Pavel, and Valentin, with branches in Moscow and St. Petersburg, until 1887, when it was sold to Ivan Khlebnikov’s firm. This spoon exemplifies the refined artistry and technical mastery that made Sazikov a leading name in Russian silver.

Silver-Gilt and Cloisonné Enamel Lemon Fork, Early 20th Century
Estimate: 150-200€A silver-gilt and cloisonné enamel lemon fork in the Louis XIV Revival taste. Europe , early 20th century. Lenght: 10.8 cm. Weight: 17 g.
Silver-gilt, cloisonné enamel; casting, gilding, filigree enamel work.
Marks: “STERLING”; “925”.
An elegant three-pronged lemon fork, richly decorated with polychrome cloisonné enamel in red, white, green, turquoise and dark blue. The slender arched handle is formed as an ornamental scroll with pierced sections, beaded borders and small foliate reserves. The upper terminal is designed as a cartouche-like medallion framed by scrolling acanthus ornament, a red enamel flower and fan-shaped enamel compartments.
The form and decorative vocabulary refer to the Louis XIV Revival style, with its love of symmetrical scrolls, shell-like reserves, lambrequin motifs and elaborate courtly ornament. At the same time, the bright enamel palette and filigree partitions recall the Russian taste for cloisonné enamel, widely admired on the international market at the turn of the twentieth century.Starting price: 100€
