Date: 1777

This antique samovar is an exceptional gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in exceptional condition.

There are some minor surface blemishes as to be expected, in keeping with age.

The applied and chased decoration is very sharp and the bright cut engraved heraldry is very crisp.

Full hallmarks struck to the underside of the body and rim of the base, in addition to part hallmarks to the sleeve of the cover are all very clear.


Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this piece of Georgian silverware.
