Nikolaievich Enameled Fabergé Egg Replica Statue

This Nikolaievich Enameled Egg Statue is cast in metal using the ancient lost wax method, tinted with colorful enamels applied by hand and punctuated by sparkling jewels which are applied by skilled artisans. This Fabergé Egg Replica presents its very own, ever-blooming bouquet for all seasons of the year. Originally fashioned more than a century ago by the House of Romanov’s Imperial Jeweler who designed eggs for the Russian Czarina Maria, boasts some of the same intricate metalwork, lost wax pewter-casting method, hand-painted blue enamel, faux gems and magnetic closure as the originals. Is even finished with a tiny pearl crown surrounded by sapphire blue colored enamel. The whole is made with high attention to detail. There are no smears or smudges in the decorations, every gemstone is perfectly placed, and the enamel has a depth to its color that is difficult for the picture to capture adequately. The lid is not hinged, so there is no “bad side“. Is beautiful from any angle, and the inner cavity is just large enough to hide a few small pieces of jewelry or a key. A Fabergé Egg is a jewelled egg created by the jewellery firm House of Fabergé, in Saint Petersburg, Russian Empire. Possibly as many as 69 were created, of which 57 survive today. Virtually all were manufactured under the supervision of Peter Carl Fabergé between 1885 and 1917. The most famous are his 52 “Imperial” Eggs, 46 of which survive, made for the Russian Tsars Alexander III and Nicholas II as Easter gifts for their wives and mothers. The House of Fabergé was founded by Gustav Fabergé in 1842 in St. Petersburg, Russia. The Fabergé Egg was a later addition to the product line by his son, Peter Carl Fabergé. Fabergé Egg Replica Statue sizes: 2.5 inches / 6.3 cm x 2.5 inches / 6.3 cm x 6 inches / 15 cm.
