Schätzwert
€ 1 200 – 1 500
Tegelsten, Carl Johann. St. Petersburg.
Date: 1851.
Technique: Partially gilt silver with gilt interior.
Description: Dedication on front reserve: "Alexander II to Thos. Seymour". Along the rim engraving
"From Thos. Seymour Ex. Gov. to Chas. Carter".
Weight: Ca. 365g.
Measurement: Height 15,5cm.
Mark: Inspection mark St. Petersburg 1818-64 (Goldberg no.1179), 84, inspection-master with 1851 (ibid. no.1206), maker's mark Carl Johann Tegelsten (after 1833, ibid. no.1429).
The American politician Thomas H. Seymour (1807-1868) was governor of the state of
Connecticut from 1850 to 1853 and became envoy to Russia from 1853 onwards. There he spent
four years intensifying the alliance with Tsar Nicholas I (1825-1855) and his son
Alexander II (1855-1881). It was in this context that he must have received the lidded
tankard presented here as a gift. Judging by the second inscription, he gave it to a
Charles Carter at an unknown date.
- Overall with beautiful, typical old patina including the corresponding rubbing and fine, superficial scratches. - The partial gilding on the outside somewhat more heavily plastered. - The lid hinge with slight play.
