Buyer's Premium:

A Soviet-era architectural miniature depicting a Russian Orthodox cathedral located within the Moscow Kremlin, likely the Cathedral of the Archangel. The model is cast in metal with a dark golden-toned patina and is mounted on a square, veined black and white marble plinth. The metal base features several cast Cyrillic inscriptions including МОСКВА-КРЕМЛЬ (Moscow-Kremlin) and СОБОР (Cathedral). A further inscription reads Ц. 8-50, which denotes the original state-regulated price of 8 rubles and 50 kopeks. The sculpture displays five onion domes and textured wall detailing characteristic of the region’s ecclesiastical architecture.
