Item Details
Description
SAMOVAR Russo in peltro argentato con vassoio di base, firmato alla base “Fratelli Samovych in Tula”.Tula (Russia), 1841-1863Samovar: H. 51 cm.; L. 29 cm.Vassoio: H.46 cm.; L. 26 cm.Lo stile con il quale vengono realizzati i samovar dei fratelli Somov di Tula si fonda sullo stile Neoclassico, basato dal minimalismo, linee rigorose e simmetriche e nel rispetto delle proporzioni, andando ad influenzare anche numerosi oggetti di uso quotidiano. È questo il caso anche dei samovar, splendidi dispositivi per portare l’acqua a bollore per il servizio del tè. La fabbrica era impegnata nel settore dei samovar dal 1841, mentre il periodo di massimo splendore arrivò negli anni 1850-60.I vasi Somov sono riconoscibili dalla combinazione di stile in rilievo, manici con decoro a conchiglia e bardana squamosa. La forma si avvicina alla forma classica ma con riferimento all’antichità, stile popolare a Mosca già agli inizi dell’Ottocento.La fabbrica chiuse nel 1863 probabilmente per l’emancipazione della servitù della gleba, ma, seppur piccola, diede vita a prodotti di alta qualità, tanto da meritarsi la medaglia “Per diligenza e arte” alla mostra del 1861 tenuta sotto il patrocinio di Alessandro II.

Russian SAMOVAR in silvered pewter with base tray, signed on the base “Samovych Brother in Tula”.Tula (Russia), 1841-1863
Samovar: H. 51 cm.; L. 29 cm.Tray: H. 46 cm.; L. 26 cm.
The style with which the samovars of the Somov brothers of Tula are made is based on the Neoclassical style, based on minimalism, rigorous and symmetrical lines and respect for proportions, also influencing numerous everyday objects. This is also the case of samovars, splendid devices for bringing water to a boil for serving tea.The factory had been engaged in the samovar business since 1841, while the heyday came in the 1850-60s.Somov vases are recognizable by the combination of relief style, handles with shell decor and scaly burdock. The form approaches the classical form but with reference to antiquity, a popular style in Moscow already at the beginning of the 19th century.The factory closed in 1863 probably due to the emancipation of serfdom, but, albeit small, it gave birth to high quality products, so much so that it earned the medal "For diligence and art" at the 1861 exhibition held under the patronage of Alexander II.
