The Greek Collector
A Greek collector who’s
name is not to be revealed, was triggered to set off a great inquiry
to gather the collection in 1983, when he came over a small silver
disk of the era. His passion with the Czars’ Era in Russia got the
Greek collector to run over Europe for 3 decades to gather the
hundreds of items. A thorough research yielded into the items the
collection consists of, especially after the final Fall of the Soviet
Union. More than half of the items come from the collection of
Charalambos Akrivopoulos, a personal doctor of the Czar and his
family.
The gifts of the Czar to the Greek doctor
Charalambos Akrivopoulos
had served as military doctor in the Russian army and served for a
period in the palace as one of the dozens treating
physicians.According to his grandson, Abraham, Akrivopoulos
occasionally was awarded for his services separately with silver
items (among them those presented in this auction) from the Czar's
family. Some of these gifts are a chariot - game pulled by two
horses, that was given to him by Czar‘s son, one cigarette case
named "Nastia", diminutive of Czar's younger daughter,
Anastasia and one oval jewel box. In 1917, during the Bolshevik
Revolution, Akrivopoulos escaped to Poland and as Abraham narrates,
was forced to hold, all the way, a rusty iron in order to harden his
hands and resemble those of a worker....
