Factory Beilin & Son (1882-1917)
BEILIN-LEVKOV Abram Solomonovich (Abram Lipov-Sholomov, 1844-1922) was an outstanding Russian jeweler and entrepreneur who left a significant mark on the history of jewelry art in the Russian Empire. In 1882, he founded a gold and diamond jewelry factory, the products of which gained recognition for their high quality, sophisticated style, and attention to detail. By 1901, his achievements were recognized with the title of "Supplier to the Court of His Imperial Majesty," which gave him the right to place the coat of arms of the Russian Empire on his products. Since 1904, Abram Beilin-Levkov was awarded the status of a 1st guild merchant, and in 1906, together with his son, he founded the trading house "Beilin A. and Son" with an authorized capital of 200 thousand rubles. The company specialized in the production of gold snuff boxes, cigarette cases and diamond jewelry, which were supplied to such prestigious clients as the firm of K. Fabergé, the trading house of P. Bure and the Cabinet of His Imperial Majesty. Beilin-Levkov′s products were famous not only for their sophisticated design, but also for their functionality, which made them in demand in the highest circles of society.
