Fabergé August Frederik Hollming

Post by robertoalva1 »

Hi,
I need your help to correctly identify these two pieces, from what I have been able to find these pieces are Russian, but the marks indicate to me that they are from Faberge workers, but they do not have the Faberge seal.
I was also able to find out that many silver pieces did not have the Faberge seal, but only the city, the quality of the silver and the workmaster mark.
In these pieces you can see A•H (August Frederik Hollming) and in another I am not sure if it is A•H or AN.

Mind my asking, but what is the town mark supposed to show? Sorry, but I cannot see Hollming here. He punched A*H without FABERGÉ'S mark). Unfortunately I'm a bit suspicious the marks are a mess.... There are some other oddities too...In my mind the objects are relatively newly made somewhere but not in old Russia.

Unfortunately, both the open saltcellars of poor cloisonne quality and the marks are faked; India or China, modern production with faked Imperial Russian marks to deceive buyers. Not a dangerous fake, though. Too obvious wrong marks and poor design that does not match any serious Imperial Russian silversmith, and let alone Faberge subcontractors.

These look very much like Soviet pieces from 1960-70 that have been upgraded with fake marks. Either this or completely a modern fantasy

See the difference! roberotoalva1`s objects carry faked imperial Russian marks. The latter ones Soviet marks, a "minor" difference uh?
