Fabergé Friday

Today's Fabergé object is - a frame! A pretty frame...

This frame was made by workmaster Johan Victor Aarne sometime between 1890-1908. The gold bordered arch is enameled in pale, translucent green over a radiating guilloché ground. Over the enamel sits decorative floral swags in four-colored gold, accented with cabochon rubies. The back of the frame is made of mother of pearl, and has a hinged, guilt scrolling strut. The hight of the frame is 1 5/8 inches (4.1 centimeters), and it is now for sale at John Atzbach Antiques for 135,000 USD.

This looks a bit like a carrot that is starting to go bad, with the outer layer slowly starting to fall off...

Look at that stance! Splendid! And the boots! Wow...This dress will also make your boobs look great! Especially if one of them hangs, and the other one is perky...Seriously. Can someone please give this poor woman a bra? Or at least some duct tape?!...
