A silver jubilee hardstone and silver mantle clock by WA Bolin, Moscow 1912-1017

Arched rectangular body of onyx marble toned predominantly green, surmounted by looped floral silver garland, , the centre with foliate openwork cornucopea flanking wreath enclosing Roman numeral XXV, silver stepped base with foliate borders and silver mounted onyx plinth supported by four bun feet. The dial marked cyrillic W.A. Bolin with black chapters and openwork hands behind hinged glass aperture surrounded by leaf tip bezel, the movment with Paul Buhre stamp 66241 on French type drum movement with hour and half hour strike and lever platform escapement, 84 standard. With key. Height 50.2, length 32.3, width cm

Provenance

For which 25th anniversary the clock was ordered is for future research to determine. The use of cyrillic on the dial points to a commission for the Russian market. The rich use of roses and other flowers indicates that the clock was probably intended as a silver wedding gift.

More information

Firma Bolin grundades redan 1791 och i samband med utnämningen 1912 till kejserlig rysk hovjuvelerare (kejserlig hovleverantör var man, liksom Fabergé, redan sedan tidigare) ändrades namnet till WA Bolin och börjar stämpla så. Ii samband med första världskriget och ryska revolutionen flyttade familjen tillbaka till Stockholm 1916-17, man kan därför ringa in tillverkningen av klockan till 1912-17.
