Catherine the Great was a great patron of James Tassie, ordering thousands of copies of classical carved gemstones after those in British public and private collections. These were delivered between 1783 and 1788 in specially-made cabinets, accompanied by a five-volume handwritten catalog. When James’ nephew inherited the business, he continued to deal with the Russian court and his work would have been well known to Alexander I.
