Mother of pearl and metal gunpowder flask. Gujarat. India. 19th century. Decoration formed by borders of pieces of mother of pearl nailed down in the shape of triangles alternating with rectangles. 28,5 x 10 x 10 cm. It appears to be proven that the use of mother of pearl for artistic ends began in China, arriving to Asia Minor and the Islamic East through the Silk Route. It was in the north and west of India (North of Gujarat), where mother of pearl was most used, in two techniques: collage on resins or on lacquer (imported technique) or studding (Indian technique). It was Ottoman merchants who mostly traded with this type of object. This type of object was made both for local use and for exportation to Europe. The rarity of the material and the delicate and distinctive craftsmanship meant that they were objects prized by collectors, for their cabinets of curiosities. There is a similar piece in the Lisbon Museum of Oriental Art. Bibliography: Catalogue from the exhibition "La Route des Indes". Musée des Arts Décoratifs. Bordeaux, 1998.

Grand Duke Michael was born in 1832 and served as Governor General of Caucasia between 1862 and 1882. During the Russo-Turkish War (1877-78) he was nominal Commander-in-Chief of the Russian troops in the Caucasus and was appointed Field-Marshal General in April 1778. He died in Cannes, France on 18 December 1909, the last surviving legitimate grandchild of Paul I of Russia The decoration on this revolver can be attributed to Nikolai Goltyakov and can be compared to a revolver of Colt type with very similar shoulder-stock in the Hermitage, Leningrad.
