Cheryatov Egor (George) Kuzmich, founded his own jewelry workshop in 1899. Cheryatov’s workshop was the main supplier of silverware and jewelry for the F.A. Lorie.” And not only. Egor Cheryatov’s Art Nouveau items were sold in stores of other Moscow jewelry firms: Nemirov-Kolodkin, Faberge.
Interestingly, the workshop of Yegor Cheryatov is one of the few that continued to work after the October Revolution and produced tokens and commemorative signs on orders from various organizations. By 1924, there were 7 people in the workshop.
Of course, it was no longer jewelry in the usual sense. All the gold and silver of jewelers was requisitioned during the years of the revolution, and large jewelry productions were nationalized. Nevertheless, rare antique pieces of Yegor Cheryatov’s jewelry art have been preserved, which delight us with their beauty to this day.
