Russia has produced some of the finest works of art the world may ever know. It can boast the boldly colored onion domes of St. Basil’s Cathedral, precious Fabergé eggs, the conciertos of Rachmaninoff, the ballets of Tchaikovsky, the rebirth of the mysterious Amber Room, and countless others.  For centuries, the planet’s largest country has produced untold treasures for its kings, emperors, and tsars.

In this proud tradition of masterpiece creation, Rock Island Auction Company is honored to announce the largest and most important offering of 19th century and 20th century arms. Featuring extensive carving and engraving, studded with jewels and polished stones, and lavishly ornamented with precious metals, these items represent some of the finest craftsmanship of their homeland. Below is the first glimpse of this magnificent collection.

Assembled by a single collector over three decades, the selection of extravagant and artisan pieces presents collectors and investors an unprecedented opportunity in the genre of 19th and 20th century arms. Extensively carved and engraved, studded with jewels and polished stones, and lavishly ornamented with precious metals, these items represent some of the finest craftsmanship of their homeland. Given the size, scope, and rarity of this collection, it could not be duplicated with any amount of money or time. Below is the first glimpse of this magnificent collection.
