EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning bronze and enamel paperweight in the form of a swan, created by Princess Maria Tenisheva in 1908. The exquisite craftsmanship is evident as every intricate detail of the swan's graceful figure is brought to life. Measuring 15.5 cm in length, this unique piece belongs to a private collection. The close-up shot allows us to appreciate the meticulous metalwork and delicate enameling that adorn this beautiful object. Against a pristine white background, the swan stands out majestically, its elegant shape capturing our attention. With no person present in the image, we are left alone with this enchanting creation. Its aversion towards us adds an air of mystery and curiosity, as if it has turned away from our gaze. Yet, its inquisitive nature remains palpable through its poised posture and expressive representation. Dating back to the early 20th century, this paperweight evokes a sense of nostalgia for an era when such ornamental objects were cherished on desks or displayed proudly on shelves. It serves as both functional stationery and an artful statement piece. Princess Maria Tenisheva's talent shines through her ability to transform simple materials into captivating works of art like this one. Her mastery over metalwork and enameling techniques elevates ordinary objects into extraordinary ones that continue to fascinate collectors even today.
