An exceptional Objet'd'Art, a Russian Silver 1913 Commemorative Travel Icon, is a poignant tribute to the reign of Czar Nicholas II. Made in 1913 to commemorate the Great Pilgrimage of Emperor Nicholas II, this rare piece offers a glimpse into the grandeur of imperial Russia.
Measuring 2.75 inches in height, 2 inches in width, and 0.25 inches in depth, this traveling icon or portrait is housed within an oval-shaped silver case, adorned with intricately chased scrolls and flowers along the edges. The hinged lift top reveals an interior mirror, while the opposite side features a paint-decorated portrait of the last Tsar of Russia, depicted in military uniform, measuring 2.5 by 1.5 inches.
The significance of this piece is further underscored by the engraved inscription in Russian: "This is the King, the Emperor of all Russia, Saint Petersburg, Nicholas II, 1913." Two silver hallmarks authenticate its origin and workmanship.
As a historical artifact from a pivotal moment in Russian history, this icon serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Czar Nicholas II and the imperial era. Whether as a collector's item or a cherished historical relic, this piece invites you to connect with the rich heritage of Russia's past.
