Russia on the threshold of the 20th century: Under the last tsars of the Romanov dynasty, Nicholas II and his wife Alexandra, the country - against all odds - once again experienced a cultural flowering. In St. Petersburg, the fabulously wealthy nobility feasted in their palaces, and Parisian fashions were all the rage. Artists such as Tolstoy, Chekhov and Tchaikovsky created masterpieces that to this day epitomize the Russian soul. The forms of Art Nouveau, as it had been developed in France since the last years of the previous Saeculum, were also absorbed in the great empire of the East: Here, too, long-haired young girls in flowing dresses, water lilies, leaves and ferns populated the artists' designs, and all the inspiration also from domestic nature was translated into their own designs. The pair of cufflinks presented here breathes the esprit of French Art Nouveau. The front sides of the buttons show elegant asymmetrical design with elegant plant motifs. A small diamond rose glitters in the center of each flower. The pair is marked with the Russian hallmark for gold with a fineness of 56 zolotnik, which corresponds to 14 carats and an uninterpreted company signet in Cyrillic letters. It also bears the assayer's mark of Ivan Sergeyevich Lebedkin, who was a assay master in Moscow ans St. Petersburg. The various hallmarks together indicate that the cufflinks were made between 1898 and 1908, presumably in Moscow. The cufflinks are beautifully preserved and came to us here in Berlin. To this day, the pair tells of the old splendor of Russia and is able to conjure up a luxurious accent to any shirt.
