Russian painter and archaeologist Nikolai Roerich advocated for the preservation of art and architecture during war times. The Roerich Pact, signed by the United States and the Pan-American Union in 1935, is considered his most important achievement in protecting the arts. The upcoming Russian Fine Art & Antiques Auction, offered by Shapiro Auctions, presents Roerich’s tempera and pastel on canvas piece, titled Secrets of the Walls. The auction also features the works of David Shterenberg and Alexander Archipenko.
Silverware by prominent Russian jeweler and silversmith Ignaty Sazikov is another highlight of the auction. Sazikov mainly manufactured Neo-Russian silver tableware and historical sculptures. Offered in this sale is a gilt silver drinking set by Sazikov. The set is designed in the Pan-Slavic style and bears the Imperial warrant of Tsar Nicholas I. Among the showcased cloisonne enameled articles is a late 20th-century Russian Faberge-style silver tea urn. Also offered are porcelain wares, bronze sculptures, jewelry, lamps, and posters. Interested collectors can explore the full listings and register to bid online on Bidsquare.
