This rare silver beer goblet is a magnificent example of decorative and applied art of the first half of the 19th century, created in the style of pompous Baroque. The large-scale relief decorating the body depicts a dramatic scene of a medieval battle, filled with dynamics of movement, facial expressions and skillful elaboration of details. The composition shows high skill of minting: the figures of horsemen, attack scenes, fallen warriors and armed infantrymen are conveyed with exceptional plasticity and expressiveness. The rim of the goblet is decorated with a belt of fruit and leaves, symbolizing abundance and well-being. The lid is crowned with a large apple-shaped ball, complemented by relief details and leaf motifs. A luxurious handle, decorated with curls and floral elements, completes the ensemble. The inner surface is covered with gold plating, which gives the product additional sophistication. Dimensions: Height: 25 cm Width: 19.5 cm Base diameter: 15.5 cm Weight: 806 g

Neo-Baroque.
 Neo-baroque is one of the neo-styles that developed in 19th century European art during the period of historicism. Has several different regional variations. In St. Petersburg, the most European city of the Russian Empire, the period of historicism of artistic thinking and neo-styles of the 19th century began to reproduce or, as they said at that time, "renewal in their previous form" of the monuments of the "Peter′s Baroque" period and buildings "in the taste of Count Bartholomew Rastrelli" ... These samples are not baroque architecture in the classical sense, but a special fusion of the Renaissance, Baroque and Mannerist architecture of the Nordic countries, and in Elizabethan time - a bizarre combination of elements of classicism, baroque and French rococo. Neo-baroque features are evident in the interior of St. Isaac′s Cathedral in St. Petersburg (O. Montferrand, 1818-1858), in the Mariinsky Palace, built in the neo-Renaissance style by A.I. Stackenschneider (1839-1844) and in the most important work of the "second baroque": the Beloselsky-Belozersky palace (1846-1848) on the Nevsky Prospect of the Russian capital. In the facades of the Beloselsky-Belozersky palace, the architect Stakenschneider followed the general composition of the Stroganov palace, erected by F.B. Rastrelli was also on Nevsky Prospekt a century earlier. However, Stackenschneider′s powerful plasticity of Rastrelli′s decor turned into refined, but petty "dry" ornamentation, which was positively evaluated by the critics of that time as an improvement in style. Graphic rigidity, refinement and fragmentation, as a rule, distinguish any neo-style from its historical prototype. Such are also many other neo-baroque monuments in St. Petersburg of the middle and second half of the 19th century. ... Read More
