Fabergé Friday

This week's Fabergé object is a beautifully embellished little box. It was made by workmaster Mikhail Perkhin, sometime before 1896!

The 1.5'' x 5.4'' x 3.7'' (3.8 x 13.7 x 9.3 cm) size box is made of bloodstone. It is heavily decorated with gold ornaments in the neo-rococo style, set with rose-cut diamonds.

The box was presented by the daughters of Grand Duchess Maria Alexandrovna to King George V, and is now part of the Royal Collection.

Fabergé Friday

Do you have many trinkets that needs boxes to be put in? Well, why not put them in a box from Fabergé?! This one was made by workmaster Henrik Wigström, sometime between 1903 and 1908!

This little circular box is made of red gold, covered in translucent royal blue over a guilloché background. The borders are decorated with leaf ornaments in green gold. The lid is set with a flower basket of rose-cut diamonds, which holds flowers of diamonds, emeralds and cabochon rubies with gold leaves.
The dimensions of the box are 0.9'' x 1.4'' x 1.4'' (2.2 x 3.5 x 3.5 cm), and since 1953 it has been part of the Royal Collection.

Fabergé Friday And Full Moon

As today's Fabergé Friday coincides with the full moon, I made sure to find an object that resembles the moon. And this is what I found - a little box made by workmaster Feodor Afanassiev, sometime between the years 1896 and 1908!

The ovoid gold box is covered in oyster enamel over a guilloché ground. The laurel border around the lid is in two-colored gold, with a diamond set thumb-piece. The center of the lid is set with a cabochon ruby. The size of the box is 0.8'' x 2.1'' x 1.6'' (2.1 x 5.3 x 4.0 cm), and since 1953 it belongs in the Royal Collection.
