("Методы визуально-графического и источниковедческого анализов, а также метод реконструкции дали возможность впервые исследовать вопрос клеймения изделий фирмы Сазиковых практически за весь период её существования, подвергнув их систематизации и периодизации и ввести указанный подход в научный оборот.")

Study of newly discovered archival documents (Изучение вновь найденных архивных документов) enabled to approach the topic of marks on its products (позволило подойти к теме клеймения её изделий).

Hi AG2012 -

thank you very much for the comprehensive marks of Sazikov!

You are welcome! This is a book by Mrs. Voldaeva Veronica Yuryevna Ювелирный дом Сазиковых published this year, 208 pages. She actually had the entire silver collection of Gokhran (Гохран)
, the State Precious Metals and Gems Repository, in her hands.
But, difficult to deal with them online and some people I know have more important things to attend than visiting bookshops.

Hi AG2012 -

if you manage to get one for you - maybe you can manage to get one for me too - of course I will pay for all your expenses...

Regards
Zolotnik

I doubt I will try to buy online: there is a language barrier with Russian web sites and it may not be safe, either. Btw. the book is in Russian but over 200 pages fully illustrated. It’s published in 2000 copies and let’s hope it will appear in English soon.
If you Google for "Ювелирный дом Сазиковых" (copy — paste) you will have several websites with pages from the book shown.
There is a Russian family I know and they travel back home from time to time — will see what I can do; the book is not expensive.



This site offers several pages from the book but there is no price as far as I can see.


3,950.00 RUB = 82.4947 EUR



3,000.00 RUB =62.6542 EUR

(Admin edit - please, no linking to commercial websites)

MfG, Have a nice weekend

Hi AG2012 -
I tried amazon, global books etc. - they list it but it is not available. Price USD 147.00

Thanks again

Recent question from an old post.

By the way, I have not either heard about the author earlier. Does anybody know who she is?

To Google for her copy-paste "Волдаева Вероника Юрьевна" in Cyrillic

It goes without saying this is NOT the place to discuss doctoral dissertations, particularly not with reputable institutions like The Russian Academy of Arts. Otherwise would be arrogance of cosmic dimensions and an insult to her painstaking research.

This fact is irrefutable: PhD dissertations and research cannot be repeated under the same or similar name, meaning no person or persons will get permission to open Sazikov display cabinets and search through huge Gokhran inventory with literally tons of silver. In a word, this will be the only reliable publication for decades to come.

Hi AG2012 -

thanks for the follow up! Let's hope some exemplares of her book will show up at the known places....

Zolotnik

A few illustrations from the excellent book ( V.Yu.Voldaeva).


In the yellow frames - marks, that had not previously been published.

I have posted schematic Sazikov marks from Mrs. V.Yu.Voldaeva`s doctoral dissertation.
You have posted three pictures of ACTUAL marks on silver, but unfortunately they are both small and not sharp enough.
We would appreciate very much if you could take better pictures of those three pages with Sazikov marks and share them with us all.
Thanks in advance.
Kindest regards
