Catalogue Note
The jewelery firm of Bolin was established in 1791 in St. Petersburg. Carl Edvard Bolin was originally from Sweden and became one of the favorite jewelers of the Tsar and his court. In 1850 his younger brother Henrik Conrand established a branch in Moscow which specialized in silverware and was also patronized by the Court. When Henrik died, the company was passed to his son Wilhelm Andreyevich, (W. A. Bolin), which then became the official name of the company.
