Description from the seller
Set of 6 Imperial Russian silver 84 zolotniki salt cellars/caviar dishes by Khlebnikov – Moscow, 1896
Rare coordinated set of six Russian salt cellars in 84 zolotniki silver (875/1000), dated 1896, from the Russian Imperial era.
In size, shape, and gilded interior, these small vessels could be used as individual salt cellars or for presenting caviar and other condiments. In the absence of the original accessories, their specific function cannot be determined with absolute certainty.
Four pieces bear on the base the Cyrillic maker’s mark ХЛЕБНИКОВЪ (Khlebnikov) surmounted by the Imperial eagle, together with the 84 assay mark and the 1896 date stamps.
The Ivan Khlebnikov manufactory was one of the most important silver houses of Imperial Russia and a supplier to the Imperial Court.
The other two salt cellars, perfectly coordinated in form, size and decoration, bear the 84 mark, the 1896 date, and a different silversmith’s mark.
Particularly interesting is the uniformity of the collection: all six show the same elegant rounded form, three ball feet, a flared upper rim, and the same monogram engraved on the front, indicating they belonged to the same place setting.
The interiors retain the gilding, with normal signs of use compatible with their age.

An interesting set for collectors of Imperial Russian silver, Khlebnikov objects and Russian decorative arts of the 19th century.
The six salt cellars are offered exclusively as a single lot, preserving the historical integrity of the service.
