Historical Era & Cultural Significance:
Up for sale is a 100% authentic, exquisite piece of late Tsarist history—an Antique Imperial Russian 84 Zolotnik Silver Teaspoon, manufactured between 1908 and 1917. Struck during the twilight years of the Romanov Dynasty, this elegant utensil survived the turbulent eras of the Russian Revolution and the Soviet Union, preserved as a cherished family heirloom. It is a brilliant example of early 20th-century pre-revolutionary silverware, perfect for collectors of Russian antiques, fine estate silver, or those who appreciate historical serving utensils with deep familial provenance.
Aesthetics, Form & Silhouette:
The spoon features a classic, minimalist yet highly refined Fiddle pattern variant profile, popular among European and Russian nobility. The handle gently widens into an elegant, unmonogrammed spatulate tip, leaving room for personalized engraving. The neck transitions into a beautifully structured, drop-shaped bowl via an understated stylistic transition point on the stem. This timeless, ergonomic execution allows it to look magnificent both in a display cabinet or as an operational coffee/tea stirring piece.
Hallmarks & Maker's Branding:
The reverse side of the handle proudly displays two crisp, deeply stamped official hallmarks ensuring premium authenticity. The first is the Imperial Russian Kokoshnik Assay Mark featuring the right-facing profile of a woman wearing a traditional headdress next to the numeral 84 (the Tsarist standard for 87.5% pure silver, equivalent to modern 875 silver). The second mark is the rectangular maker's именник (itial stamp) "ПВ" (PV), representing a recognized silversmith artisan operating within the empire's major jewelry hubs during the 1908-1917 period.
Material Composition & Master Craftsmanship:
Forged from premium 84 Zolotnik solid silver alloy, this spoon exhibits the distinctive dense weight and warm, brilliant metallic luster unique to genuine antique imperial silver. Hand-finished and polished by a master craftsman, it has a rigid, highly durable stem structure capable of lasting for generations to come.
Authenticity & Collector's Condition Note:
This item is guaranteed 100% original pre-revolutionary Russian silverware. It is in excellent antique condition, boasting a gorgeous, untouched natural dark patina in the crevices of the hallmarks and on the handle borders. The bowl remains structurally sound with no deep cracks, heavy dents, or repairs. Minimal, honest microscopic surface micro-scratches are present, consistent with a century of careful domestic storage. Please inspect the provided macro photographs to verify the crispness of the hallmarks.
