LOT NOTES
Pavel Dolgov is primarily remembered as an associate of the house of Fabergé, and a supplier of exceptionally finely crafted furniture to the Russian Court. This particular porcelain design was completed during his final months of study at the celebrated Baron Stieglitz Central School of Technical Design in Saint Petersburg, where he would later become an instructor. In 1908 Dolgov designed the famed Imperial eagle mounts used in Fabergé vases, produced by the firm`s head silversmith, Julius Rappoport. After the collapse of the Russian Empire, Dolgov was one of the few people ‚Äúin possession of the well-kept secrets of fabrication‚Äù that Eugene Carlovich Fabergé rallied to continue to the legendary luxury brand as Fabergé & Cie.
