Up for sale is an antique Russian Brass Samovar. The lovely piece features wooden scroll handles, a decorated spout and a spigot handle with "58" engraved on it. T are Russian symbols/ characters that you can see in the pictures located at the bottom of the piece but I cannot make these out. The Samovar measures about 14 inches wide from handle to handle and is just over 19 inches tall. It weighs 13 lbs. For a piece that could be over 150 years old, it's condition is great. Flaws that you can see in the pictures and that are worth pointing out are the following: The top rim is slightly dented on the lip and just under the rim, t is a dent along the strip of one of the series of star-like engravings. The top part of the Samovar and rim are rotatable, so for aesthetics of displaymanship, you may elect to turn the aforementioned flawed regions to the rear. T is a small (circular, size of a quarter) and medium size (oval-shaped, 2.5 in. long) dent on the rear of the piece that you can see in the pictures. Minute flaw: one of the wooden knobs has about a 1/2 inch crack in the wood, but the nob is still solid and in tact. You'd have to be nit-picky to notice thisAs you can see in one of he pictures, the piece has the bottom sealant and tfore, should have the potential to contain/retain liquids. I would be glad to test this out for the interested bidder who might be using the Samovar for holding beverage. Please feel free to email me with any and all questions. I am a friendly, honest person and my feedback is a reflection of this. If you want more specific about information about the conditions/ aforementioned flaws, please ask before bidding and I will provide requested information and take additional photos if necessary. Thanks for your time in looking at my auction. Today, I have added new pictures of the medals that are the best I can take with my cheap digital camera. NOTE: In the last picture, you can see another medal on the top base w/ the knobs. It's oval shaped and appears to have nothing visible inside the oval. The Samovar was tested today and does hold water. T are no leaks and the water is only released through the spigot.
