Kyrill Albrecht Cigarette Case

Post by dognose »

Hi,

As it is quiet on the Russian forum I thought I would share some images that I have just been sent of a cigarette case by Kyrill Albrecht of St. Petersburg:

Actually his name was Karl Julius Albrecht but he "russificated" it to Kirill Fyodorovich Albrecht. Albrecht was born 1836 and became merchant of 2nd order in 1877. He had a shop on Bolshaya Morskaja 17. in St. Petersburg selling silver, gold an bronze wares. He was appointed to the Court's supplier in late 19th century. He married a Finnish woman, Sophia Montonen. He was still active in 1908.
