Antique Russian Orthodox Brass Icons
This pair of 19th-century Russian Orthodox icons showcases exquisite craftsmanship. The upper icon is a single panel, while the lower is a beautifully detailed folding triptych – a three-part hinged panel. Both are constructed from brass and feature vibrant enamelled details, depicting religious scenes and figures characteristic of Orthodox iconography. These icons would have been used for personal devotion and prayer within a home or small chapel.
Condition and Collectibility
These icons exhibit signs of age and wear consistent with their antique status, adding to their character and authenticity. The enamel remains largely intact, though some minor losses and surface wear are present. These icons are highly desirable for collectors of religious art, Russian antiques, and enamelled metalwork. Their intricate design and historical significance make them a captivating addition to any collection or a unique decorative piece.
