Russian Ormolu and Malachite Pen Holder
. Russia, late 19th century.
Gilt bronze, malachite; cast, chased, engraved, polished. Dimensions: 20 x 16.
A striking desk pen holder conceived in the Neo-Russian taste, combining the warm lustre of gilt bronze with the richly banded surface of malachite. The upper holder is formed as a flaring conical vessel with a finely striated surface, raised on a truncated malachite pedestal mounted within bronze rims. Its architectonic silhouette is enlivened by applied mounts and zoomorphic finials, which lend the object a distinctly archaizing and ornamental character.
The design draws upon motifs associated with traditional Russian wooden architecture, particularly the carved decoration of window surrounds and nalichniki. The scrolling side ornaments and stylized animal-head mounts translate the vocabulary of vernacular woodcarving into metalwork, creating an effect at once monumental and decorative.

After Vasily Yakovlevich Grachev (1831-1905)
 Troika on a Malachite Base. St Petersburg, second half of the 19th century.
Gilt bronze, malachite; casting, chasing, gilding, mounted on a polished malachite plinth. Dimensions: 24 x 8 cm.
A dynamic cabinet sculpture representing a Russian troika in full motion, with two drivers seated in a sleigh drawn by a team of three horses. The composition is conceived with pronounced forward thrust: the horses are shown at different angles and in varied strides, while the taut reins and diagonally arranged harnesses heighten the sense of speed and tension.
The model relates to the work of Vasily Yakovlevich Grachev, one of the notable sculptors of realist orientation active in the field of Russian cabinet bronze. Largely self-taught, Grachev became famous for his small-scale sculptural models in the Russian manner, especially scenes drawn from national life. Complex multi-figure groups of this kind were beyond the technical scope of his own workshop after its establishment in 1885 and are therefore closely associated with casts produced at the St Petersburg foundry of Carl Woerfell, where a number of Grachev’s models were cast.

A very rare Russian bronze composition ”Russian Knight – Vityaz”. Author Baron Peter Klodt. A rare version of the statuette, found in archival documents under the name “Russian Warrior in a Helmet and Chainmail”. In the mid-1840s, Klodt worked on groups for the Nevsky (Blagoveshchensky) Bridge in St. Petersburg. In the Russian State Historical Archive (RGIA) we found project sketches from 1846. Among them, the horse-mounted figures of warriors in ancient Russian attire stand out.
Similar drawings are also found in the collection of the Russian Museum in Saint-Petersburg. The statuettes “Russian Warrior in a Helmet and Chainmail” and “Slav with a Pike,” notable for their meticulous recreation of military weaponry from the 14th–17th centuries, were most likely created as models for the unrealized project of a bridge across the Neva. Petersburg, second part of the 19th century. Dimensions: 57 x 50 x 17.5 cm.

Russian Ormolu and Malachite Pastoral Scene inkstand. 
 St Petersburg, mid-19th century.
 Bronze, malachite; casting, chasing, gilding, carved and veneered malachite base. Dimensions: 15 x 17 cm.
A refined cabinet bronze depicting a pastoral genre scene with a young boy standing beside a fruiting tree, set upon an oval malachite plinth. The composition unites the narrative charm of small-scale sculpture with the decorative richness of Russian hardstone work: the warm surface of gilded bronze is set in striking contrast to the deep green malachite base.
Such combined works in gilt bronze and malachite became especially honoured in St Petersburg workshops in the mid-19th century. In the early years of the factory directed by Carl Woerfell, production focused largely on objects made in bronze and malachite, and it was quickly understood that sculptural groups mounted on stone bases possessed a greater appeal than plain bronze alone. Animalier and genre subjects, when enriched by malachite plinths or other ornamental stones, acquired a more luxurious and distinctly Russian character. The present model belongs to this important tradition of cabinet sculpture, in which bronze was consciously paired with precious ornamental materials to heighten both its artistic presence and commercial desirability.
