One story in particular shows just how unusual Siegler’s sourcing channels are. From 1997 to 1999, the Sovietski catalog carried a line of intricately carved and embellished silver tableware that came, literally, from vaults underneath the Kremlin on Red Square. The 20- to 40-year-old items once belonged to the Soviet government and had been stored behind bullet-proof glass and under the protection of guards carrying machine guns.
