Item Overview

Description

Peter Carl Faberge 84 Zolotnik (.875) Silver and Nephrite Tea Kettle Trivet, 1882-1898, St. Petersburg, workmaster Stephen Wakeva (1833-1910), of octagonal form, the molded rim milled with leaf-and-dart banding, with a conforming Siberian jade (nephrite) plateau, raised on four spherical feet, h. 1-1/8", w. 7", 10.73 t. oz. (excluding nephrite). This trivet follows the traditional Russian form of two silver rings sandwiching an insulating plate - in this case dark but still translucent Siberian nephrite - and bolted together, here with the spherical feet acting as the locking nuts. Finnish-born Stephen Wakeva was a supplier of silver to Faberge from 1856, predominantly tea sets. This trivet was assuredly originally accompanied by a matching tea kettle, and perhaps was part of a full set.
