A finely worked silver beaker of tapering cylindrical form, the interior richly gilt and the exterior ornamented in high relief with an elaborate composition in the Rococo Revival manner, consciously evoking eighteenth-century decorative models. The body is encircled by asymmetrical scrolling foliate forms, shell-like motifs and stylised floral sprays, among which appear pairs of confronted birds and a smaller bird perched amid luxuriant rocaille ornament.
The maker, Stefan Erikovich Wakeva (1833-1910), a Finnish-born silversmith, was among the accomplished Capital’s mastets who executed works for the Fabergé firm. Established in St. Petersburg from a young age, he became a master craftsman in 1856 and was later noted as a chaser of silver. In 1882, while working for the firm of the heirs of Sazikov, he was recommended for distinction at the All-Russian Art and Industrial Exhibition as an exceptionally skilled and diligent master. By the 1890s he maintained his own workshop on 5th Rozhdestvenskaya Street and fulfilled commissions for Fabergé, contributing to the high standard of silver production associated with the firm.Starting price: 1200€
