A RUSSIAN IMPERIAL SILVER TRAVEL INKWELL BY ERIK KOLLIN
A Russian cube-shaped silver travel inkwell. Hallmarks: 84 Russian silver standard, kokoshnik mark and maker initials EK: Erik Kollin (ЭК). Original glass ink container.
It was made by Erik August Kollin (1836-1901), a Finnish jeweler who worked for Fabergé in St. Petersburg before opening his workshop in 1870.
Circa 1885-1899.
Total weight: 11 oz., 312 g.
Footnote: As a teenager, Kollin left his hometown Pohja, Finland to join the workshop of Alexander Palmén, a gold- and silversmith in Tammisaari. Having honed his skills by the age of twenty-two, he continued on his journey to St Petersburg in 1858, where he immediately joined the renowned workshop of August Holmström, who only a year earlier had become Fabergé’s Chief Jeweller. In 1870, having worked under August Holmström for twelve years, Kollin established his own workshop which was subsequently contracted to work exclusively with Fabergé. Within a couple of years, he earned the title of Chief Workmaster, a position he held until 1886 when he was replaced by Michael Perkhin.
Dimensions: 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 in., (5.5 x 5.5 x 5.5 cm.)
Condition: Very good with only minor wear from age and use.
