The body is shaped like a flattened cylinder set on four curved legs. The spout is faceted and widens toward the base. The handle is tall and attached to the body at two points. A chimney and a water-filling opening are brought out into the upper part of the body — both are closed with plugs topped with wooden knobs. The ash-pit, with round cutouts, is riveted to the body. On the bottom is the stamp: “ЛАРМАНЪ”. The samovar was purchased at a LiveAuctioneers auction in 2019.
