We offer an incredibly fine and beautifully made silver filagree Imperial Russian cigarette case, with a coronet crest and initials.
It was made prior to 1896 when Russia used the armorials of cities to designate the assay. It has the crossed scepters for St Petersburg.
Although the maker's mark is slightly obscured it was most likely made by Ovchinikov, or conceivably by Faberge.
It is beautifully made and is slightly longer than 3 1/2 inches and is 3/4 inches thick. It is 2 1/4 inches across.
