Description from the seller

Ancient Russian icon with brass oklad – late 19th / early 20th century

Antique Orthodox Russian icon painted with tempera on a wooden panel, with an oklad/riza in embossed metal decorated with floral and geometric motifs.

The work presents a religious composition with Christ at the top and saints or apostles figures in the central scene. Due to wear on the painted surface, precise subject identification remains difficult.

The icon appears authentic and consistent with late Tsarist Russian devotional production intended for private domestic use.

Characteristics

- Technique: tempera on a prepared wooden panel
- Coating: oklad/riza in brass embossed
- Era: late 19th – early 20th century (circa 1880–1910)
- Provenance: Russian area
- Dimensions: about 21 × 23 × 2 cm

Condition

Conditions consistent with age:

- significant wear to the paint layer;
- craquelure and darkening;
- old wood-boring insect holes, not active;
- oxidations and deformations of the metal coating.

Item sold as shown in the photograph.

Careful packaging and tracked shipping.
