Lot 4846 | Vorzügliches Geschenkpetschaft mit Emailledekor und Goldmontierung, wohl Russland, 1880er Jahre
Vorzügliches Geschenkpetschaft mit Emailledekor und Goldmontierung, wohl Russland, 1880er Jahre
In Form eines abgerundeten Rechtecks aus hellem Chalzedon geschnittene Matrix mit geschnörkeltem Schriftzug "MAXIMILIAN" in Kyrillisch. Weich abgerundete, umlaufend mit strahlenden Palmetten verzierte Basis aus 565er Gold, in vier schlanke Rippen übergehend. Das vierpassförmig verbreiterte, vollflächig fein punzierte Griffstück mit durchsichtiger, scharlachroter Emaille überzogen, sodass auf jedem Viertel ein aufwendig gravierter Blumenzweig hervortritt (stellenweise leicht berieben). Höhe 9,5 cm, Maße der Matrix 20 x 22 mm.
Höchstwahrscheinlich handelt es sich bei dem vorliegenden Exemplar um ein Geschenk eines russischen Cousins an Prinz Max von Baden zu seinem 21. Geburtstag (seine Mutter, Maria Maximilianowna von Leuchtenberg, war Nichte des Zaren Alexander II. von Russland). Max von Baden wurde 1918 der letzte Reichskanzler des Deutschen Kaiserreichs.
Provenienz: Sotheby's München, 8. Dezember 1999, Los 493.
