Russian Icons with Silver Revetment Covers

Back

Antique Russian icons with silver revetment covers are a stunning representation of the intersection between Russian Orthodox Christianity and the artistic traditions of Russia. These icons are unique in that they are beautiful pieces of religious art and valuable historical artifacts that offer a glimpse into Russia's cultural and artistic development over the centuries.

Icons are an essential part of Russian Orthodox worship and are often painted on wood, depicting religious figures and events. However, antique Russian icons with silver revetment covers take this art form to the next level. These icons are embellished with intricately crafted silver covers, known as oklads or revetments, that protect and adorn the painted image. The oklads are often made of silver but can also be made from other precious metals or materials, such as gold, copper, enamel, or even pearls. These covers are usually embossed with religious scenes or designs that reflect the icon's subject matter, such as depictions of saints or biblical stories.

The creation of these beautiful revetments was a highly specialized art form that required the expertise of skilled craftsmen. The process typically involved casting the metal into the desired shape, engraving the design, and fitting the cover onto the icon. Often, the process of creating a revetment was just as intricate and detailed as the painting of the icon itself.

Antique Russian icons with silver revetment covers are highly sought after by collectors, as they offer not only an impressive display of craftsmanship but also a glimpse into the rich cultural history of Russia. 

Antique Russian icons with silver revetment covers are remarkable examples of religious art and craftsmanship. They are not only beautiful to behold but also offer a unique insight into the cultural and artistic traditions of Russia. These icons are valuable historical artifacts that continue to captivate collectors and art enthusiasts worldwide.

Fine Russian Icon - Christ Pantocrator in silver and enamel oklad revetment cover

Fine Russian Icon - Christ Pantocrator in silver and enamel oklad revetment cover

A fancy Russian icon of Christ Pantocrator with heavy gilded silver, cloisonné, and champlevé enamel oklad revetment cover. The cover’s borders cast and chased with interlace ornament and the corners are applied with heavy spandrels decorated with foliate forms. The decoration of Christ’s cast and chased garments are unusual in that they include champlevé ornament at neck and cuffs. Similarly, the halo combines stippled and polished grounds in an unusual manner; the enameled foliate elements forming the rays of the halo are reserved against a stippled ground while the remainder of the nimbus is polished. The ground is engraved in a Byzantine-inspired pattern of crosses.

Silver Marks: Struck on underside and garments with maker’s marks ADLER, Moscow hallmarks dated 1878, and 84 (.875) silver standard. Secondary 84 marks and maker’s marks are struck on the spandrels. Provenance: Sotheby’s New York, Silver, vertu and Russian works of art, 18 October 2001, lot 6.

Russian Icon - Christ Pantocrator in silver oklad cover & kiot frame

Russian Icon - Christ Pantocrator in silver oklad cover & kiot frame

Christ Pantocrator refers to a specific depiction of Christ. The most common translation of Pantocrator is "Almighty" or "All-powerful". In this understanding, Pantocrator is a compound word formed from the Greek words for "all" and the noun "strength" (κρατος). This is often understood in terms of potential power; i.e., ability to do anything, omnipotence. The iconic image of Christ Pantocrator was one of the first images of Christ developed in the Early Christian Church and remains a central icon of the Eastern Orthodox Church. In the half-length image, Christ holds the Gospels in his left hand and makes the gesture of blessing with his right.

The silver resentment cover is hallmarked by a prolific Moscow silversmith Semyon Galkin and dated 1896.

ca. 1880 Russian Icon - St. Nicholas of Myra in silver revetment cover

Saint Nicholas of Myra (270 - 343), was a historic 4th-century Saint and Greek Bishop of Myra. Because of the many miracles attributed to his intercession, he is also known as Nikolas the Wonderworker. He had a reputation for secret gift-giving, such as putting coins in the shoes of those who left them out for him, and thus became the model for Santa Claus. His reputation evolved among the faithful, as was common for early Christian saints. 

Saint Nicholas is the patron Saint of sailors, merchants, archers, thieves, children, and students in Greece, Belgium, France, Romania, Bulgaria, Georgia, Albania, Russia, the Republic of Macedonia, Slovakia, Serbia, and Montenegro.

Small Russian Icon - The Decollation of St. John the Baptist in silver cover

Small Russian Icon - The Decollation of St. John the Baptist in silver cover

Saint John the Baptist was a Jewish itinerant preacher in the early first century AD who is revered as a major religious figure in Christianity, Islam, and other faiths. He is called a prophet by all of these traditions and is honored as a saint in many Christian traditions. The Orthodox faithful believe that John was the last of the Old Testament prophets, thus serving as a bridge between that period of revelation and the New Covenant. They also teach that, following his death, John descended into Hades and there once more preached that Jesus the Messiah was coming, so he was the Forerunner of Christ in death as he had been in life. Eastern Orthodox churches will often have an icon of St. John the Baptist in a place of honor on the iconostasis, and he is frequently mentioned during the Divine Services. Every Tuesday throughout the year is dedicated to his memory.

According to the Tradition, Herod's daughter Herodias danced before Herod, who was so pleased that he offered her anything she asked for in return. When the girl asks her mother what she should request, she is told to demand the head of John the Baptist. Reluctantly, Herod orders the beheading of John, and his head is delivered to her, at her request, on a plate. (Mark 6:17–29).
