HISTORY: Another preeminent jeweler and silversmith, Pavel Akimovich Ovchinnikov founded his Moscow firm in 1853. He was the first Russian silver maker to embrace the pan-Slavic revival style, and in 1868 nearly two de-cades before Faberge, the firm received the title of court supplier, allowing it to incorporate the imperial double eagle in its trademark. Pavel Ovchinnikov appointed official purveyor to the future Tsar Alexander III (1865), King Victor Emmanuel II of Italy (1873), Grand Duke Mikhail Nikolaevich (1878) and King Christian IX of Denmark (1888).

Contributed to exhibitions (from 1865).
