Imperial Music Egg with portrait
Faberge Imperial Eggs
This extraordinary openable egg is the reminiscent of the exquisite Faberge egg, presented to Nicholas as a gift to Alexandra with on the first Easter following the coronation.
The Egg is enameled in a lustrous color over a starburst guilloché ground. Overlaying that is a trellis work of laurel leaves punctuated with the Romanov Double Eagle insignia at every trellis intersection, each insignia set with a crystal.
The Faberge eggs began in 1884 with an Easter egg made by the brilliant Russian jeweller Faberge for the Russian tsar Alexander III that became a gift for his wife. Then Nicholas II, Alexander son and last Russian Emperor continued the tradition.
