Linden opened a workshop dealing in gold, silver, watches, jetons and church plate in the 1880s trading under the name Nicholai Linden & Co. at 83 Nevskii Prospect. Linden was one of the few Russian jewelers, apart from Fabergé and Ovchinnikov who produced items for the Buddhist community and Siamese aristocracy. He received the Imperial Warrant from Tsar Nicholas II on May 29, 1912.

This is my second purchase from the seller and, again, I can say it was a marvelous experience. The seller is highly knowledgeable, carries quality items, and is very willing to share her knowledge about the item you buy and also generalities about the times items are from. A very satisfying experience for me and highly recommended.
