Kiddush cup - Silver - Silver Kidoesj

Item description: A beautiful and fully documented antique silver Kiddush cup (kiddush cup / wine goblet) from the late Tsarist Russian Empire. This ceremonial Jewish cup is handcrafted and features refined, authentic engravings with diamond patterns and stylized foliate motifs, characteristic of the flourishing period of Moscow silverware around the turn of the century. The piece bears an excellent and clear set of hallmarks, both on the rim and inside the hollow foot, which gives this lot a high degree of collectible value and authenticity. Specifications & Hallmarks: Origin: Moscow, Empire of Russia. Period: Precisely datable between 1899 and 1908. Assay Master: Assessed with the master mark "ИЛ" in Cyrillic script, the official signature of the well-known Moscow chief assay master Ivan Sergeyevich Lebedkin (active 1899–1908). [1] Imperial Mark: Featuring the oval Kokoshnik stamp with the left-facing female bust (the official Russian imperial hallmark used between 1899 and 1908).
