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.

Fabergé Friday

I know I've posted one or two of Fabergé's frames before, and here comes another one, made by workmaster Henrik Wigström, around 1903-1908!

This diamond shaped gold frame is covered in translucent red enamel over a guilloché ground. The circular opening in the middle is edged with pearls, and the whole frame is bordered by a leaf chased, two colored gold border with rosettes at the corners. The front is decorated by four diamond set fleur-de-lis. The back of the frame is made of ivory, and it rests on a gold scroll strut. It's measurements are 3'' x 3'' (7.6 x 7.6 cm), and the price for it is 95,000 USD! Perfect for framing a photo of your favorite pet! Haha! Get it at John Atzbach Antiques.
