Imperial Russian Orders with "Black" /Dark Cherry Red/ Enamel from 1900s/1910s time period

It is often wrongly believed that the fashion for Russian privately-comissione orders with black enamel came to naught by the end of the 19th century.
But in fact, orders with "black" enamel were manufacturing even during 1908-1917 time period (although in substantially smaller numbers).
