Hi - here some objects in the mentioned styles for comparison: Art Deco https://abload.de/img/ad01nkeer.jpg https://abload.de/img/ad02lhdd6.jpg https://abload.de/img/ad03nii8j.jpg https://abload.de/img/ad04lxfx4.jpg https://abload.de/img/ad04amwd5h.jpg Jugendstil https://abload.de/img/js01a6f0u.jpg ...

Hi antiquv - thanks for your efforts! Now to judge serious one should see the marks to know the years, assay towns and makers. As you certainly know: Under the influence of v. a. By IS Aksakov and the publicist Mikhail Nikolayevich Katkov (* 1818, ✝ 1887) was the panslavism in Russia before the outb...

Hi antiquv - following your advice searching for "Fabergé Slavic taste" showed up only the known "Mumbai" Rückert fakes .... https://abload.de/img/01bhcmx.jpg https://abload.de/img/01amgc8h.jpg https://abload.de/img/01bx0c0s.jpg https://abload.de/img/02cydiy.jpg https://abload.de...

Qrt.S - it would not hurt if you read a little and understand about Art Deco what it exactly is - in Austria - Germany - France! A fake is a fake even if the basis is authentic but the marks are later added.... My opinion: the object is original and authentic ( about 1920) - even the mark WS could b...

Hi Aguest - it is not your imagination - it is real! The fakers needed more than one try to punch the mark - but were too lazy to correct the error completely. https://abload.de/img/unnamed-31vfif.jpg But do not worry - our "experts" think/know it is authentic.... Regards Goldstein

Hi - you mention a source which is not public available. Bravo! There are other books you can buy: https://abload.de/img/aa10ftcg5.jpg https://abload.de/img/aa15mmfqt.jpg All full with copies of files, invoices and inventar book pages - all with 5 digit numbers! Examples of four digit inventory numb...

Hi - @Goldstein The kovsh is not the case here, but for your records, it is authentic without any doubts. The marks are correct and the scratched number 9728 has been back traced to existing stock register books from Fabergé's workshop. Please show your source! Fabergé scratch inventory marks are al...

Hi -

there are no limits - kovsh made by "Jenny Wäkeva"......and a really good Fauxbergé punch - made with shaky hands.

Hi antiquv - [quote="antiquv"] this piece is 100% real and I know where it came from,[/quote .........but you do not know who the maker is! What a nonsense! By the way - the S. Wäkeva marks are always in an oval cartouche! Compare with your object ! Here some illustrations from leading tex...

Hi antiquv -

one of the many notorious fakes "attributed" to Wäkeva Stephan - one of Fabrgé´s masters.
Wrong marks - wrong dates - wrong quality - wrong object!

See PL p.199 #1860-6!

Hi Adieu - welcome as a new member! Important is to know how to post images - there are tutorials on the forum. To help a newcomer I post your image.... https://abload.de/img/20181207-063745pfc8c.jpg Here's what I'm 99% sure is a Khlebnikov mark on a confirmed genuine 19th century article of Russian...

Hi -

a quick search in the internet shows many of these "upgraded" Morozov fakes (authentic spoons, overstamped original maker)....




Regards
Goldstein

Hi -

even Wladimir Morozov did not overstamp his suppliers.....

Goldstein

Hi infiniteforcellc -

I suspect that it is silver from Persia. Usually this silver is stamped - see photo.
Without marks or purity - what can you say?

Goldstein

Hi Jörg -
faking Russian silver is a big business! This does not happen in back rooms - but in state-of-the-art factories. These types of stamps are produced today with laser technology - it only takes seconds.

Hi AG2012 - I dislike contradicting! The shown punch https://abload.de/img/b_7b928c24d9fa540fa7chpd39.jpg does not exist - only fakers use it . The authentic punch looks like that: https://abload.de/img/p1090937r1c59u3iic.jpg It is the rarest punch from Morozov - I can not provide a photo. I have sh...

Hi Joerg - The assayer is correct. your spoon is authentic - but the maker is overstruck by a fake Morozov mark. Morozov often used wares of suppliers (when they had his standard) - but never overstruck their marks. Here some original punches: https://abload.de/img/morozov01ap3cbu.jpg https://abload...

Hi -

Hi - the sugar tongs have arrived and I could inspect them closer. The assay master is Victor Savinsky, 1859-1894 on duty. So the maker must be someone who worked with niello and is known for his quality, someone who worked within the term of the assay master. Here better photos of the marks: https:...
