Tula, Imperial Manufactory, Early 19th Century, Russian Money Box, Inlaid Steel
Artist: Toula, Manufacture Impériale
Beautiful object! I am inspired here by texts of auction catalogs:
MONEY BOX, steel inlaid from brass and pewter, Drum shape, with classic decoration of falls and garlands of roses, palmettes and branches, hinged lid with a slot is decorated in the same way, the latch is closed by a pretty padlock, lockable.
Original lining from faded red velvet.
A model that we owe to SVECHNIKOV, unsigned. Work of the imperial arms factory of TOULA, first half of the 19th century, Height: 6 cm. Diameter: 5.7 cm.
