Salt thrones have been discussed in another thread. In this regard I'd like to show a salt throne from my collection. Anybody else possessing salt thrones, please show them.
Overall impression: Right proportions, soft, curved cutting of lid and footings. Rich ornaments and not worn.
Style details: Back ornaments of izba (Russian wooden cottage) roof gable line. Further, floral piercing framed by two dominating birds, and two wheels - much appreciated details. Backside of back similar chasing. Lid with floral chasing and two wheels. All box sides with horizontal lines, simple picturing of bended withes and saw-teeth chasing. ”Armrest” detail reminding of the wood precursors.
Technical details. Stamped bottom, assayer’s mark, Ivan Lebedkin in Moscow 1899-1908 and maker; Mihail Goloschshapov 1883-1912, at bottom, maker and city mark under lid, maker and city mark on front footing. Guilt inside box.
