A silver jubilee hardstone and silver mantle clock by W.A. Bolin, Moscow 1912-1017

The arched rectangular body of onyx marble toned predominantly green, surmounted by looped floral silver garland, the centre with foliate openwork cornucopea flanking wreath enclosing Roman numeral XXV, silver stepped base with foliate borders and silver mounted onyx plinth supported by four bun feet. The dial marked cyrillic W.A. Bolin with black chapters and openwork hands behind hinged glass aperture surrounded by leaf tip bezel, the movment with Paul Buhre stamp 66241 on French type drum movement with hour and half hour strike and lever platform escapement, 84 standard. With key. Height 50.2, length 32.3, width 20cm, weight 34,5 kg. Key included.

Provenance

For which 25th anniversary the clock was ordered is for future research to determine. The use of cyrillic on the dial points to a commission for the Russian market. The rich use of roses and other flowers indicates that the clock was probably intended as a silver wedding gift.

More information

Bolin was founded as early as 1791, and in conjunction with the appointment in 1912 as an Imperial Russian court jeweller (having already been an Imperial court supplier like Fabergé), the name was changed to W.A. Bolin and began hallmarking accordingly. In connection with World War I and the Russian Revolution, the family moved back to Stockholm in 1916-17, thus the manufacture of the watch can be pinpointed to between 1912 and 1917.
