Description

Three Russian Imperial and Germany Stag Horn - Handled Flatware Sets - Late 19th Century. A rare group of three matching tableware sets from the Russian Empire, dating to the second half of the 19th century, each comprising knives and forks with natural stag antler handles and finely crafted steel blades and tines. Two sets bear maker’s marks of the Imperial supplier “Konratov” (Kondratov) with the double-headed eagle Imperial warrant and inscription “, indicating production by the renowned Konratov factory, active in St. Petersburg and awarded the title of supplier to the Imperial Court. The richly engraved floral and geometric ornament on the blades reflects the craftsmanship typical of high-quality Russian silver and cutlery of the late Tsarist period. The third set is marked “CASTSTFEL SOLINGEN” and “ROSTFREI”, identifying Solingen, Germany, as the origin — a city famous for its premium steel blades. Composition: 36 pieces total (three partial sets). Condition: Good antique condition, with expected signs of use and age. Patina and wear consistent with 19th-century materials.
