Russian Craft (19th–20th Centuries) - Young Man With A Samovar.

Russian craftsmanship (19th–20th century) – Young Man with a Samovar.

6 x 6 x h 15 cm (sculpture), 17 x 12 x h 20 cm (box).

Full-length figure in various marbles and semi-precious stones, housed in a display case.

The sculpture depicts a young man in traditional costume, captured in the act of holding a gilded metal samovar with both hands. The figure is entirely crafted from marbles and semi-precious stones of varying colors, skillfully assembled to render the different elements of his clothing and complexion: the face and hands in light-colored stone, the tunic and trousers in veined green marble, and the footwear in red stone. The work draws inspiration from the style of the famous semi-precious stone figures created by the House of Fabergé between the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a genre that enjoyed great popularity in Russian stonework, featuring depictions of folk figures and traditional crafts, often embellished with gilded metal elements.
