The Russian Sale

Renowned for its opulence, Olgovo was once one of the richest estates in the Moscow region. Owned by a noble family for nearly two hundred years, it had a rich history - and an impressive art collection. After the 1917 revolution, the collection was nationalised and for a short period in the 1920s the estate became a museum, before later falling into ruins. The artist Igor Grabar (1871-1960) first visited Olgovo in 1919, together with other members of the All-Russian Commission of Museums, with the purpose of preserving the spirit of the disappearing noble estates. Grabar's painting, Room Interior in Olgovo in 1850s, which is one of the highlights of The Russian Sale at Bonhams New Bond Street, London on 9 June, certainly archives that aim. The captivating work has an estimate of £80,000 - 100,000. Director of Bonhams Russian Department, Daria Khristova, commented: "Grabar's Room Interior in Olgovo in 1850s returns the viewer to the past. The painting is, in part, a historical document capturing the room's enchanting details: jugs, clocks in the Empire style on the mantelpiece, portraits on the walls and a Chinoiserie-style fireplace screen. Appearing as if the owners had only stepped outside a minute ago, the empty room at Olgovo emits a feeling of nostalgia and the passing of an era. In 1921, when the work was painted, constructivism prevailed, and it was no longer possible to imagine life in decorative interiors. The Post-Impressionist Igor Grabar rarely addressed the theme of interiors in his paintings, and this is a rare - and particularly appealing example - painted during the peak of his artistic maturity."
