Footnote:
After 1908, Ruckert produced objects for Faberge as well as for numerous other retailers. Here it appears that the gold and silver merchant Ivan Vasilievich Shchekleev, who traded in Moscow and Kharkov, sold this Russian casket.
The offered lot underlines Feodor Ruckert's mastery in linking the colour palette and motifs depicted in the enamel frame with those in the central plaque. Note the stylized enamel renderings of snow flurries echoing the effect of the horse's hooves on winter ground.
It is precisely during the post-1908 period that Ruckert's style became more influenced by Art Nouveau as interpreted through the prism of Neo-Russian taste. He drew his vernacular from textured ornament on wood carvings, stylized foliage in Bilibin illustrations, as well as the onion domes,kokoshniks and boyar accoutrements that were so symbolic of Russia. As familiar as Ruckert would have been with the creative output of Abramtsevo and Talashkino in the decorative arts, he managed to combine these for the enamel frame with plaques drawn from popular images often repeated in the lacquer works of Lukhutin and Vishniakov.
