An exceptional piece of Soviet history, this heavy silver table box was crafted by the legendary Moscow silversmith Gustav Klingert (Г. К.). It features a rare and significant hand-engraved presentation inscription on the interior lid: "14th Сентября (September) 1865 – 11th Сентября (September) 1879" This 14-year span aligns perfectly with the founding of Klingert’s firm in 1865, making this a pivotal early work. The exterior is decorated with a masterfully executed repoussé lid depicting a high-relief 17th-century Dutch tavern scene—a style Klingert specialized in for his international clientele. The interior features a remarkably preserved gold vermeil finish. Product Specifications: Maker: Gustav Klingert (Cyrillic Hallmark "Г. К.")
