Carousel Egg

Theo Fabergé worked on perfecting his Carousel Egg for many years and was particularly inspired during his many visits to the United States. This creation captures the essence of carousel art as perfected in the American amusements made between 1860 and the late 1920s.

Immigrant craftsman brought their skills to their new home and expanded on a popular ride for both children and adults that had existed on the Continent since the early 1700s. American figures are more elaborate than European, with particularly their horses having tossed manes, animated bodies and expressive eyes as identifying hallmarks.

This sterling silver and 24 carat gold Egg is a first in having two colors of brilliant enamel on the shell, both royal blue and cherry red guilloché enamel. The finial, the Romanov Crown, is set with a cabochon ruby. The decoration on the outside of the Egg is taken from design themes from working antique carousels.

King of the Oceans Egg

Inspired by Theo Fabergé's Sea Fountain Egg the KING OF THE OCEANS EGG continues that theme with this beautiful Egg in sterling silver and gold and then guilloché enameled in deep blue reminding us of the ocean.

The King of the Oceans Egg is adorned in gold and silver with two enchanting sea horses with sparkling ruby eyes swimming among the flowing sea flora. The finial, the Imperial Crown is set with a cabochon ruby, Theo Fabergé's favorite gemstone and surrounded by gold seashells.

Opening the Egg reveals a surprise; Neptune, the King of the Oceans fashioned in gold and silver. Trident in one hand and roped miniature pearl in the other he stands aloft to speed ships and passengers safely on their journey.

Romanov Quadricentenary Egg

The Romanov Quadricentenary Egg celebrates the 400th anniversary of the House of Romanov, which had been founded by Mikhail Fedorovich Romanov in 1613.

The Egg is adorned with eighteen miniature decorations depicting the eighteen Romanov Tsars.

The shell is created in solid sterling silver with sapphire blue royal guilloché enamel and 18-karat gold.

The finial of the Egg is based on the double-headed Romanov eagle but is, in fact, a triple-headed eagle so that when viewed from any angle, it appears as the double-headed eagle.

The base, ornamentally turned on Theo Fabergé’s Holtzapfel lathe from 1860, again celebrates the eighteen Romanov Tsars with eighteen deep cuts and covered with 24-karat gold.
