Russian Silver-Gilt Plique-à-Jour Enamel Card Case, Early 20th Century
Russian Silver-Gilt Plique-à-Jour Enamel Card Case, Early 20th Century
An early 20th century Russian silver-gilt card case featuring a finely executed plique-à-jour enamel bird scene with turquoise and white enamel borders.
This early 20th century Russian card case is a refined example of decorative enamel craftsmanship, executed in silver-gilt and featuring intricate plique-à-jour work. The case is of rounded rectangular form and showcases a central scene of a bird set within a forest landscape, rendered in translucent plique-à-jour enamel that allows light to pass through, creating a stained-glass effect.
The background is finished with a matted texture, providing contrast to the vivid enamel work. Surrounding the central panel is a decorative border composed of alternating turquoise and white enamel segments, enhancing the visual richness of the piece.
Plique-à-jour enamel is among the most technically demanding enameling techniques, requiring precision and skill, and is strongly associated with high-quality Russian silverwork of the late Imperial and early modern period.
Compact and elegant, this card case would have served both as a practical personal accessory and as a display of craftsmanship and taste
