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.

St Petersburg, workshop of Samuel Zacharias Filander, 1877.
Silver; casting, engraving, chasing, twisting, polishing.
Length: 19 cm.
Weight: 95.3 g.
Marks: maker’s mark “S.F.” for Samuel Zacharias Filander; St Petersburg assay mark with assayer’s initials “И.Е” and date 1877; 84 zolotnik silver standard; St Petersburg town mark.
A Russian silver jam spoon with a deep rounded bowl and an elongated stem. The exterior of the bowl is engraved with a stylised Neo-Russian architectural motif: a wooden izba with a steep roof, carved gable, ornamental supports and geometric details recalling traditional Russian timber architecture.
Samuel Zacharias Filander, born in Finland in 1809, trained in Friedrichshamn and worked in St Petersburg from the 1830s. He later returned to Finland, then again settled in St Petersburg, where he became a master silversmith. After his death in 1868, the workshop was continued by his widow; the mark “S.F.” remained in use until the early 1880s. The present spoon, dated 1877 by the assay mark, therefore belongs to the later period of the Filander workshop.Starting price: 200€
