A Russian Gold and Rock Crystal Table Box
A Russian Diamond-Set and Gold-Mounted Rock Crystal Table Box Maker unknown, St. Petersburg, before 1899 1-5/8 x 4-3/4 x 3-1/8 inches (4.1 x 12.1 x 7.9 cm) 584 grams (gross) PROVENANCE: Ruth S. Nelkin acquired this work, for $5000. This gold-mounted box in the Nelkin Collection, bears no signature by any maker. The nearly transparent rock crystal panels are of the highest quality, and the diamond-set chased gold frame is clearly by a master goldsmith. Without an original box, and with no hallmarks other than 56 for gold, identification of the maker is difficult.
