Russian Imperial silver box, crafted in 1844 and stamped with full period hallmarks. The maker’s mark СМИРНОВЪ, the assayer’s initials A·K, the year 1844, and the 84 zolotnik purity stamp (≈875 silver) confirm its origin and high-grade silver content. The double‑headed imperial eagle hallmark further verifies official Russian state assay certification.

The box features ornate decorative work, sculpted figures, claw‑shaped feet, and an eagle finial on the lid, showcasing the refined craftsmanship typical of mid‑19th‑century Russian silver. Weighing 638 grams, it is a substantial and impressive piece suitable for collectors of Imperial Russian silver, antique metalwork, or historical decorative arts.

A rare and valuable example of pre‑Reform Russian silver, preserved with clear hallmarks and strong visual presence.
