retirement, the business was carried on by his sons and grandsons until it was
forced to close due to the outbreak of the Russian Revolution. The firm specialized
in silver gilt, cloisonné and champlevé enamel snuff boxes, cigarette cases and
tableware. Until 1899 Klingert used to mark his

the World Fair in Chicago, Klingert was described as one of the most important
firms in Russia. Thanks to the large popularity received the firm started to
export its wares in United States through Tiffany

regarding its age. The silver is lightly gilt and the whole outside is covered
with fine silver wire work filled. This is a lovely spoon. The right side is marked with the Russian

authenticity of the product. The details of the bas-relief are perfect and
extremely crisp; practically all of the original gilt finish is present. A
superb example all through. The gold retains beautiful luster throughout, is
essentially perfect, no flaking, rubbing or any other noticeable wear. The
