Fabergé Extremely Rare Gem-Set Silver and Gold Cigar Cutter in the Form of a Saw, St Petersburg, c. 1890
Estimate: 15000-17000€An Extremely Rare Fabergé Gem-Set Silver and Gold Cigar Cutter
St Petersburg, workmaster Erik Kollin, circa 1890.
Silver, gold, diamonds; cutting, casting, chasing, polishing, gem-setting.
Marks: Faberge firm, workmaster’s mark EK for Erik Kollin; St Petersburg assay marks; 84 zolotniki silver standard, 56 gold standart. Weight: 20.5 g. Dimensions: 12 x 2,6 x 0.4 cm.
A rare Fabergé cigar cutter designed in the playful form of a miniature saw. The flat silver blade is pierced with an elongated aperture and cut with a serrated edge, directly evoking the functional shape of a carpenter’s tool. The handle is formed in polished gold as a sweeping scroll, its arched upper section set with a graduated row of diamonds.
The deliberately unexpected choice of a saw as the model for a cigar cutter reflects Fabergé’s taste for trompe-l’oeil, humour and technical exactitude. At the same time, the diamond-set gold handle introduces a courtly elegance, turning a gentleman’s smoking accessory into a small work of jewellery.
Erik August Kollin was one of the most important early masters connected with Fabergé. Born in Finland in 1836, he trained as a goldsmith before moving to St Petersburg, where he qualified as a workmaster in 1868. In 1870 he opened his own workshop and soon became Fabergé’s first chief jeweller, overseeing the firm’s workshops until 1886, when he was succeeded by Michael Perchin.
Kollin specialised in gold and silver objects, many of them in the archaic and historical taste characteristic of Fabergé’s early period.Starting price: 12000€

An oval presentation box in the Neo-Renaissance taste, executed in richly gilded silver and profusely ornamented with pierced scrollwork, engraved foliage, seed pearls, and cabochon settings. The domed lid is centered with an oval hardstone cameo portraying Grand Duke Pavel Petrovich in profile. The cameo may be attributed to the engraver Giovanni Pichler (1734-1791), one of the most celebrated gem carvers of the later eighteenth century, whose works were prized in aristocratic and courtly circles for their refined classicism and sculptural precision.
The box unites the arts of glyptic carving and goldsmith’s work in a single ceremonial object. The austere profile portrait, rendered in the language of antique-inspired court representation, is set within an elaborate ornamental framework of Renaissance-derived scrolls and rosettes.
By artistic level and character, the piece belongs to the category of precious presentation boxes intended for courtly gift exchange or cabinet display.Starting price: 5000€

Russian Silver-Plated Brass Samovar in the Shape of an Egg
Estimate: 800-1000€Samovar in the Shape of an Egg
Shemarin Brothers’ Manufactory, Tula, 1880s
Silver-plated brass, wood
Height: 45 cm (including the chimney cap)This silver-plated brass samovar, crafted in the form of an egg, represents the refined aesthetic and exceptional quality of the Shemarin Brothers’ Manufactory in Tula — one of the foremost samovar producers of late Imperial Russia. The harmonious proportions, fine polish, and elegant detailing reflect the high standards of Tula metalwork in the late 19th century.
The Shemarin Brothers manufactured samovars at a time when Russian tea ceremonies had become a hallmark of cultured domestic life. Their samovars were sought after not only by the Russian nobility and intelligentsia but also by Persian shahs, Indian maharajas, and European aristocrats, who appreciated both their craftsmanship and their aura of Russian luxury.
The dynasty began with Ivan Rodionovich Shemarin, a former serf who earned his freedom and, together with his wife Agrippina and five sons, settled in the Tula province. In 1887, the brothers established their own manufactory, which quickly grew into one of the largest in Russia. By 1904, their enterprise ranked second only to the famed Batashev factory, employing over 700 workers and producing up to 6,000 samovars per month.
Their products gained international acclaim, receiving more than ten medals at world fairs — including a silver medal at the 1889 Paris Exposition Universelle and an honorary diploma at the 1901 Glasgow Exhibition. In 1906, the Shemarins were appointed official suppliers to the Shah of Persia, a distinction shared by only a handful of firms worldwide. A year later, they produced several miniature samovars for Emperor Nicholas II.
The factory’s hallmark was variety and precision: more than a hundred models were made, ranging from traditional coal samovars to alcohol-burning and silver-plated types. Each was inspected personally by the eldest brother before leaving the workshop — a testament to their commitment to excellence.
