The firm of Sazikov, known to have existed as early as 1793, was one of the greatest innovators in the field of nineteenth-century Russian silver, being the first to collaborate with important contemporary sculptors & to produce designs in the Russian Style. They were longtime suppliers to the Imperial court & received the right to use the Imperial warrant with their mark in 1857.
