A. Sumin. Cameo Brooch with Nude in Original Case
Gold, chasing, agate.
Makers mark of «AK» and «Sumin». Petersburg, 1908-1914.
An elegant rectangular gold-mounted cameo brooch finely carved in banded agate, depicting a reclining nude holding a flower. The frame is decorated with chased foliate ornament and retains its original fitted leather case.
The brooch bears the maker’s mark of Andrey Karpenko, working for the renowned jeweler Avenir Sumin, one of the leading stonecutters of Imperial St. Petersburg. Avenir Sumin was the son of Ivan Sumin, a master stonecutter originally from the Imperial Lapidary Factory in Ekaterinburg who later established his own workshop in St. Petersburg under the name Siberian–Ural Stones. The firm gained recognition at national and international exhibitions, and after Ivan’s death in 1894 was continued by Avenir.
Trained under the jeweler Karl Werfel, Avenir Sumin expanded the workshop, located on Nevsky Prospect, and became best known for hardstone animal figures and luxury objects often compared to those of Fabergé. While his works matched Fabergé in quality, they were initially more affordable, leading to both competition and frequent confusion between the two firms. In 1913 Sumin was appointed official supplier to Empress Alexandra Feodorovna.
