This is an exceptional antique icon from 1890, depicting Jesus Christ Pantocrator. What makes this work extraordinarily rare is that it is a sophisticated antique chalcographic print on metal plate, hand-finished with enamels. The print is exceptionally perfect, and the icon is mounted on a removable wooden panel (see photo). It is adorned with a spectacular riza (oklad) of the highest quality silver, bearing five distinct hallmarks certifying its purity, the year of creation (1890), the city of origin, the silversmith, and the assayer (see photo).
This icon is a testament to metalwork and sacred painting.
It is an important collector's item, not only for its spiritual subject matter but also as a verifiable work of 19th-century silversmithing. Its condition is stable and worthy of its era.
