Gustav Klingert (1865-1916) (Густав Клингерт) - originally from Germany, Klingert began his career working as a master for Faberge.
He founded his own factory in 1865 in Moscow employing over 200 artisans.
In 1889 he exhibited at the Exposition Universelle in Paris where his works were granted honorable mentions.
At the World Fair in Chicago in 1893, Klingert was described as one of the most important firms in Russia.
Thanks to the large popularity received the firm started to export its wares in United States through Tiffany & Co.
In 1896 Klingert was granted the Imperial Warrant.
After Gustav retired, the business was carried on by his sons and grandsons until it was forced to close due to the outbreak of the Russian Revolution.
The firm specialised in silver gilt, cloisonne and champleve enamel snuff boxes, cigarette cases and tableware. Until 1899 Klingert used to mark his items with Latin characters GK, thereafter in Cyrillic.
