GOLD MATCH SAFE WITH GUILLOCHÉ DECORATION, 56 ZOLOTNIK STANDARD RUSSIA

An elegant rectangular match safe crafted in 56 zolotnik gold, representing a refined example of Russian decorative metalwork at the turn of the 20th century. The front surface is adorned with a radiating guilloché pattern, creating a dynamic interplay of light and enhancing the sculptural quality of the form. The composition is accentuated by an oval inset of dark stone, likely glass or a semi-precious material, serving as a decorative focal point. The construction is functional and precise: the interior cavity is designed to house a matchbox, while the корпус demonstrates high craftsmanship and careful finishing. The restrained geometry is balanced by sophisticated ornamentation, characteristic of personal luxury objects of the Art Nouveau period. Marks: Maker’s mark “IK”; assay mark indicating 56 zolotnik gold standard. Dimensions: 4.5 x 3 x 1.5 cm. Weight: 15 g. Condition: Excellent. Crisp edges, well-preserved guilloché surface, minor signs of use, no deformations or losses. Provenance: Private collection.
