A remarkable fusion of history and function, this late 19th-century Russian brass samovar has been masterfully repurposed into a striking table lamp. Originally crafted as a traditional Russian tea urn, this piece bears intricate engravings, imperial hallmarks, and a beautifully aged patina, highlighting its authenticity and historical significance.
The body of the samovar is adorned with elaborate Russian inscriptions and award medallions, indicating its prestigious origin. The markings reference Vasily Stepanovich Batashov, a renowned samovar manufacturer from Tula, Russia, active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The engravings include the Russian Imperial Double-Headed Eagle, a hallmark of high-quality craftsmanship, along with various medallions commemorating international exhibitions, dating as early as 1870 and 1883.
