Fabergé Friday

I've always been a sucker for a good alliteration. So here comes a Friday Fabergé Frame! Haha! It was made by workmaster Mikhail Perchin, sometime around the years 1899 - 1903!




This gilded silver, circular frame is covered with alternating panels of translucent red and opaque white enamel. The opening in the center is framed with seed pearls. Both the bow at the top, and the scrolled strut at the back are also gilded silver. The back is made of ivory, and the frame's dimensions are 3 3/4'' x 3 3/8'' (9.5 cm x 8.6 cm). It can be bought at John Atzbach Antiques for 95,000 USD.
