A monumental triptych-kuzov centered with an icon of the Passion of the Mother of God and selected Orthodox feasts, Moscow, circa 1670- 1700. The ogee-shaped surmount contains an image of the Trinity with cherubim, seraphim, the Deisis, and symbols of the Evangelists and is held in place with a stepped gilt or painted wood frame. The flanking doors are set with a split scene of the Annunciation in the uppermost, half-ogee form registers. The left door is further set with an icon of the Anastasis above the Nativity of Christ; the right with the Transfiguration above the Dormition of the Mother of God. The icons on the doors are mounted with framing strips of gilded silver on which are engraved the title of each scene or scrolling floral ornament. The borders of these strips are chased in a pattern of beaded borders. The carved wood case is bound in leather with iron mounts. The exterior corners set with pierced mounts with sheets of mica over gold silk brocade, most likely Italian.
A fancy Russian icon of Christ Pantocrator with heavy gilded silver, cloisonné, and champlevé enamel oklad revetment cover. The cover’s borders cast and chased with interlace ornament and the corners are applied with heavy spandrels decorated with foliate forms. The decoration of Christ’s cast and chased garments are unusual in that they include champlevé ornament at neck and cuffs. Similarly, the halo combines stippled and polished grounds in an unusual manner; the enameled foliate elements forming the rays of the halo are reserved against a stippled ground while the remainder of the nimbus is polished. The ground is engraved in a Byzantine-inspired pattern of crosses.
Silver Marks: Struck on underside and garments with maker’s marks ADLER, Moscow hallmarks dated 1878, and 84 (.875) silver standard. Secondary 84 marks and maker’s marks are struck on the spandrels. Provenance: Sotheby’s New York, Silver, vertu and Russian works of art, 18 October 2001, lot 6.

На иконе представлена Святая Троица в иконографическом типе «Сопрестолие»: три лица Троицы представлены персонифицировано, Бог-Сын восседает одесную Бога-Отца на престоле из сил небесных, вверху между ними – Святой Дух в виде голубя. Этот вариант изображения имеет западноевропейское происхождение, где известен с XII века, в Византии встречается с XIV столетия. Наиболее ранний пример использования иконографии «Сопрестолия» в русской иконописи – знаменитая т.н. «четырехчастная» икона из Благовещенского собора Московского Кремля середины XVI века, где она присутствует в качестве фрагмента композиции четвертого клейма. В XVII столетии изображения «Сопрестолия» стали использоваться как самостоятельный сюжет в иконописи. В первой половине века имел хождение один из его вариантов, который был использован и на данной иконе. В отличие от оригинала Бог-Сын и Бог-Отец сидят перед храмовым престолом с крестом и Евангелием, створы райских врат по сторонам уподоблены по форме вратам иконостаса и имеют изображения серафима, херувима и четырех символов евангелистов. Троица представлена восседающей в раю, очерченном килевидной аркой. Аналогичные решения встречаются в таких памятниках, как икона из собрания П.Д. Корина. Стиль живописи соответствует поздней Строгановской традиции, в связи с чем икону можно датировать второй половиной XVII века и предполагать ее связь с художественной культурой Москвы.
