Russian spoon

[echo]

Can anyone help me identifying this Russian hallmark and monogram on this spoon? Thanks.

[Qrt.S]

Your spoon is Russian made in St Petersburg by a Finn Samuel Zacharias Filander 1853-1868 (81). Filander died in 1868 but his widow Maria, maiden name Paavilainen, continued with the workshop until 1881. The assayer is Ivan Yevstigneev 1870-1894.

It is not a monogram but a coat-of-arms of a noble family. Unfortunately I'm not familiar with the family to whom it belongs.

Hi Echo,

If you make a fresh post with just the image of the coat-of-arms in this section of the forum: Family Crests You may have some luck there
