## About Michael Perchin

Michael Perchin is the public-page spelling for the Russian maker more commonly identified in authority records as Michael or Mikhail Perkhin (1860–1903). Wikidata describes him as a Russian silversmith, while VIAF connects authority records describing a Russian goldsmith and leading Fabergé workmaster. The collected biographies likewise identify him as a jeweler who moved to Saint Petersburg and joined the House of Fabergé, where he became one of its principal workmasters. These sources place him within Russian jewelry and precious-metal craftsmanship rather than a conventional fine-art movement. Collectors are therefore most likely to encounter his name in cataloguing connected with Fabergé jewelry, silverwork, and decorative objects. Spelling variation is important for identification and research: Michael Perchin, Michael Perkhin, Mikhail Perkhin, Michail Jewlampjewitsch Perchin, and Mikhaïl Perkhine are authority-linked forms associated with the same maker in the collected source pack.

## Common works and media

The source pack supports jewelry, goldsmithing, silverwork, and a House of Fabergé workshop context. It does not provide a reliable inventory of named series, recurring subjects, editions, or individual object types. Auction and appraisal research should therefore begin with jewelry and precious-metal decorative objects while allowing each catalogue record to determine the actual category and attribution.

## Market and appraisal context

The available sources establish Perchin or Perkhin's identity and his Fabergé workshop association, but the collected pack does not provide a successfully fetched major-auction-house lot description or price history. Appraisal should begin by testing the specific maker attribution and the catalogued connection to Fabergé, then identifying whether the item is jewelry, goldsmith work, silverwork, or another decorative object. Searches for comparable public sales should include both Perchin and Perkhin, together with Michael and Mikhail variants. Condition, provenance, materials, dating, marks, and realized prices remain object-level questions requiring supporting catalogue evidence. This research does not establish an artist-specific price trend, scarcity premium, or expected value.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. This profile's identity evidence is stronger than its collected market evidence, so object-level auction documentation remains essential.
