Re: Fraget candlestick
#huszas76 This is a very strange marking. In my rather large library I cannot find these marks. Moreover, the whole "row of marks" is insufficient. Here a few thoughts: The Russian fineness mark has a round shield, the figures' font is odd, who is the assayer, the spelling of "Warszaw...

Re: Sugar box, Moscow, 1783
@Juke,
Take a look at P#2585 on p. 218. Serif fonts were more often used in the past than sans serif. More unclear is the "C" in Belkin's punch, but?

Re: Sugar box, Moscow, 1783
A bit difficult case, anyway, in my eyes the maker is I·Ө. That would be Ivan Frolov. The alderman AӨП is Fyodor Petrov 1759-1784 as Juke also anticipates. The (unclear) assayer's mark looks much like С·Б, could be Stepan Belkin 1778-1788. The Moscow town mark shows 1783. It matches the other marks.

Re: Can anyone help identify silver sugar bowl 1895
Thank you. Some more information. Jòzef Fraget was born 25.4.1797 and died 16.7.1867. His successor was his son Julian Mikolaj Fraget born 2.6.1841 dead 1906. The above stated means that the punch J.F. in this case (1895) is most likely Julian Fraget but not Jòzef. Anyway, the Fraget company, founde...

Re: Can anyone help identify the workshop and years of operation?
Since the guardein CFH is Christian F. Heise 1904-32, the maker must have been active during that period. The Copenhagen townmark verifies 1923, so... Unfortunately the workshop's mark is unknown to me.

Re: Can anyone help identify silver sugar bowl 1895
Yes Warzaw, Poland. The maker J.F. is as Mart already stated Jozef Fraget, active 1895-1918. The assayer O.C. is Osip Sosnkovskij in W. 1862-1896. Anyway, he also used the following punches IS, IC (Ios, Józef Stanislavovitch Sos...) around 1852~1862. (Note! Differing opinions for the working periods...

Interesting Tipton 444, Would you mind shoving the marks/punches too. They are also of interest. Revert to this later when I have seen the punches.

Re: Important Russian Silver? Grand Duke Crown & Imperial Eagle
Just a short point out, The fact that you might find a punch with a deceased master has been told here in the past and has an explanation. When a married master passed away his wife retain the right to run the workshop and use her late husbands punch until her own death. The widow could also apply t...

You are welcome. Well, Postnikova is not complete far from it. This is not a simple case. There are too many variables and that makes is a bit complicated. Nice discussion anyway.

Re: Important Russian Silver? Grand Duke Crown & Imperial Eagle
No I haven't. I wrote about Carl Georg Samuel Frank and that is not quite the same as Karl Frank (there is no Karl Frank). The reason for that was that his mark is not known and could be anything (or nothing)! The other reason was that he was married to Rosina. There are too many Falks and books con...

Re: Important Russian Silver? Grand Duke Crown & Imperial Eagle
Johan (with only one n) Fredrik Falk's birth date is unclear. But he died (of stroke) 2.3.1845 (Julian calendar, Gregorian calendar in 14.3.) in St. Petersburg. He is noted as a silver worker. He is buried in Wolkova 5.3 (Greg. 17.3). It is documented in the church book of St. Katarina church congre...

Re: Important Russian Silver? Grand Duke Crown & Imperial Eagle
Correct Mart, there are masters that haven't made anything or no objects have been found or are known. A very well known person/master i.e. Carl Fabergé hasn't made anything, at least there is not a single object known/found, so... Note! It is commonly "accepted" that an object is dated ac...
