Gustav Gustavovich Klingert Firm

Firm with 55 employees, founded 1865, active till 1917. At the Chicago Worlds Fair of 1893 the firm "G. Klingert J. Levitt" was named as among the most important. Klingert was also represented in Paris (Krantz, Exposition Internationale de Chicago, p.40). Until about 1899 his mark was in Latin characters, thereafter in Cyrillic; traditional style, without shaded painting. Typical is the use of turquoise colored enamel over large surfaces relieved only by a filigree tracery." Von Solodkoff, p207.
