Moscow jeweler

[AG2012]

Have narrowed the search for the maker of this art nouveau brooch – pendant.
56 zolotniks, rose and yellow gold (14K - 583). Demantoid garnets with ``horsetails`` (inclusions of chrysotile) and pearl.
Moscow assayer Ivan Lebedkin.
(The demantoid variety of garnets was discovered 1868 in western central Ural Mountains. The find was an alluvial deposit about 110 kilometers from Ekaterinburg, along the Bobrovka River, near the village of Elizavetinskoye. It became very popular with its high brilliance and dispersion).
Regarding possible makers:
Only Nikolai Fedorov was registered as both silversmith and jeweler, other candidates for the maker were jewelers. The mark is distinctively shaped, but possibly upside down, and either ``H`` or `` K``

Hi,

I think I found the twin of your brooch. And sellers wrote maker is "unknown master ФН".

Hi olga_kehl -

please be so kind and use the "Preview" button before you use the "Submit" button! Your photos never show up - that's too bad!
Please make the necessary corrections - because I'm really curious about what you have to show.
A forum like this stands and falls with meaningful photos.

All the best
Goldstein

I too can see this one and have not had any problems seeing Olga's photos in Past posts.

Hi Olga,
I can see the image you posted.Yes, the same maker, no doubt; the design and the stones, the same mark ``ФН``.
Thank you.

Either I have any problems with Olga's photos in general but I do have problems with AG2012 question of who is the maker ;-)))) a difficult question. The hallmark tells that it is punched between 1898-1908...

@Goldstein
You might have a resolution problem in your end. Check the setting. Try 1600x1200 anticipating that your monitor can handle that high. Undoubtedly Olga's photo size is quite big.
