Sazikov Rus Gümüş Samorodok Sigara Tabakası
Sazikov is a jewellery firm that was established in 1793 in Moscow by Pavel Fedorovich Sazikov. His son, Ignat Pavolich inherited the firm towards the end of the 1830s after his father died and began to gain recognition as an outstanding jeweller. Dedicating his life to the firm, he bought modern equipment and travelled the world trying to find better metals. He opened a branch of the firm in St. Petersburg in 1842 and existed until the Ivan Khlebnikov firm acquired them in 1887.
Pavel Sazikov (1793-1877)
A contemporary of Carl Fabergé, Pavel Sazikov is a highly important and respected 19th century Russian silversmith. The firm of Sazikov was founded as a workshop in Moscow by Pavel Sazikov in 1793. Though it remained family run, the business quickly expanded. After Pavel’s passing, his son Ignatti (1796-1868) succeeded him in running the business. Ignatti expanded the firm to Saint Petersburg in 1842. Around that time, Sazikov was appointed the title of court supplier, and the firm was given the right to incorporate the imperial double eagle into the Sazikov trademark. After Ignatti’s passing in 1868, his three son continued to run the business in Saint Petersburg, until that branch was closed in 1877. The Moscow branch continued for another ten years before it was taken over by another firm.
