Silver Coach Casket — 925 Silver, Niello, Gold Plating & Gemstones, Tsar's Feast

A casket in the shape of a Tsar's coach — made from solid 925 sterling silver, hand-engraved, filled with niello, gold-plated, and adorned with cabochon gemstones. The Tsar's Feast Collection by SevChern creates objects that don't glitter loudly, but rather assert themselves with quiet authority. The wheels, the coachman's seat, the crowning ornamental cap — every detail is meticulously crafted. 480 grams of silver that tell a story.

The Coach — Form & Handwork in Detail

The body of the casket is crafted in the shape of a coach — with intricately designed wheels, a raised coachman's seat element, and a crowning ornamental cap. The form is not merely decorative: each side features finely crafted ornaments and figural motifs reminiscent of historical Tsar's festivities. When you hold the casket, you immediately feel the weight of the silver and the depth of the handwork.

Inside, the casket offers space for small treasures — pieces of jewelry, mementos, personal notes, or family heirlooms. It is both functional and decorative.

Three Techniques — Niello, Gold Plating, Gemstones

The casket combines three artisanal techniques:

• Niello Hand-Engraving — Ornaments and scenes are hand-engraved into the 925 silver, and the black niello alloy is melted into the depressions. This creates the characteristic black-and-silver contrast — durable, insolubly bound to the silver.
• Gold Plating — Gold-plated contours, decorative strips, and wheel parts add warm accents and emphasize the relief structures. Warm gold against the black of the niello and the white of the polished silver.
• Gemstones (Cabochons) — Several stones mark the wheel hubs and the top finial. Delicately set, they serve as colorful contrasting points in the composition.

Each casket is hallmarked and individually inspected before leaving the manufacturer. Small variations in hand-engraving are typical of genuine handwork — and make each piece a unique original.

Tsar's Feast — SevChern Collection

The Tsar's Feast Collection by SevChern focuses on prestigious objects that combine history and craftsmanship in one piece: goblets, trays, drinking sets, boxes — all with niello and gold plating, all from the Russian silversmithing tradition. The Coach Casket is the sculptural centerpiece of this line. It suits a desk, library, display cabinet, or private lounge — anywhere where objects with provenance are desired.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the coach shape special?
The coach is a symbol of travel, life's journey, and new beginnings — a motif that can be incorporated into individual dedications. The three-dimensional shape with wheels, coachman's seat, and ornamental cap makes the casket a sculptural object that makes a statement on any desk or in any display cabinet.

Can the casket be engraved?
Engraving is possible upon request. Since it is individually coordinated with the manufacturer, planning takes a little longer — the result is an engraving that harmonizes with the existing design. Contact us with your idea.

Is niello delicate?
Niello is a traditional inlay work that is very durable with careful use. Avoid aggressive cleaning agents and abrasive sponges. The niello itself does not require care — it becomes more contrasting with the silver, not weaker.

Are there matching objects from the Tsar's Feast Collection?
Yes — the Tsar's Feast line includes goblets, trays, drinking sets, and other boxes made of 925 silver with niello and gold plating. All can be combined to form a harmonious ensemble. Contact us for an overview.
