Antique Imperial Russian Tula Samovar – Rare Three-Lion Crest – Brass/Tombac – c. 1890-1910
A stunning Tsarist-era Russian Samovar, crafted in the historic metalworking center of Tula. This piece features a rare and crisp factory trademark consisting of three heraldic lions arranged in a triangular crest. Unlike more common mass-produced versions, this specific stamp indicates a prestigious Tula workshop from the late 19th to early 20th century.
Design & Construction:
• Form: Classic "Banka" (Jar) style cylindrical body, known for its balanced proportions and timeless silhouette.
• Material: Heavy-gauge brass with a high copper content (tombac), giving it a warm, rose-gold patina that collectors highly prize.
• Hardware: Features the ornate "S-scroll" branch-style faucet handle and original turned wood grips on the handles and steam vent.
• Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The metal has been gently cleaned to reveal the rich luster of the brass while preserving the historical character of the stamp.
Collector's Note
The "Three Lions" stamp is a distinct hallmark of quality from the Imperial era. While many samovars feature the standard Imperial Eagle, this specific trademark suggests a specialized factory line or a transition-era piece, making it a unique addition to any collection of Russian militaria or tea culture antiques.
