Le Petit Limoges
Egg Collection We
are delighted to be able to bring to you Fabergé Eggs made
by The House of Fabergé. The Eggs that we show will include
both replicas of the original Eggs and Eggs of today but all will
be made by Fabergé. The replicas will be as exact as possible
with the substantive changes being the use of 24 karat gold plate
over sterling silver instead of gold and Austrian crystals which
will replace the precious gems. The crystals will be hand-set in
like settings to those used for the gems to ensure the exactness
of the reproduction.
Imperial Egg Collection Shown
in this collection are porcelain eggs made in Limoges, France with
gold and jeweled "surprises" inside just as the original
Faberge eggs were made.
Imperial Gemstone Collection This
particular collection, the Gemstone Collection, is all hand
carved of semi precious minerals, i.e. quartz, onyx, etcetera
and all are decorated with sterling silver that has been plated
in 24 karat gold.
The
Imperial Porcelain Box Collection This
group of boxes is made for Fabergé in Limoges by a maker
whose name you probably would not know but who has been making
Limoges boxes for many years. Many of Rochard's boxes, as well
as many other importers, have their boxes made by this maker. La
Seynie is their name. You may recognize their mark which is an
L/S with the letters intertwined.
NEW Fabergé Box
Collection Boxes:
Fabergé made
dozens of boxes of every description and for varied purposes. Cigar
boxes for tables, cigarette boxes to be carried, compacts, visiting
card cases,and many for no purpose other than to be enjoyed as
presentation boxes from the Czar by whomever he was gifting. All
were exquisite and flawlessly made of gold or silver, sometimes
of malachite, rock crystal or tortoise shell, mother of pearl or
semi precious materials.
The Forbes
Collection of Fabergé by
Artoria Everything
in this collection is made by Artoria of Limoges porcelain and it
is limited to only pieces that are in the actual Forbes Collection.
Crystal
Egg Collections Renaissance
Crystal Egg Collection: An outstanding collection of mouth blown crystal eggs made in
France of French crystal and then hand cut and copper wheel engraved
in Saint Petersburg, Russia. The design of each egg is intriguingly
complex and done in such a way as to offer different views of the
subject matter of each egg. Add to this the many different cuts with
which the egg is embellished and you have a very complex piece of
art.
The Nutcracker Ballet Egg The Swan Lake Ballet Egg The Romeo and Juliet Egg The Hermitage Museum Egg
Miniature Crystal
Eggs: Less
than 2 1/4 inches high, these tiny eggs are all hand cut crystal
and each comes in a moire lined gift box.
All
are hand signed "Fabergé". There is an extensive
group of them with those showing here being just a small sampling
of the collection. Our price: $84.90.These would make marvelous
gifts and can be collected. They could certainly solve your gift
problems for a long time to come with a great many happy recipients
on the receiving end.
The
Gemstone Egg Collection Created
by today's Fabergé Company as an ancillary to the hand
carved gemstone animal collection, these are all solid eggs carved
from pieces of the same minerals used in the original Fabergé gemstone
collection. The eggs are 2 inches tall with the finial and
stand adding another inch.
NEW Fabergé Hardstone
Collection Among
the many materials which Fabergé employed in the making of his
remarkable bibelots, not the least were the hardstones: malachite,
obsidian, chalcedony, rock crystal, nephrite, purpurine, jasper, agate,
jade, lapis-lazuli, bowenite, rhodonite, citrine, the list is endless.
His selection of hardstone was determined entirely by the most appropriate
use for the subject matter and this provided the figures great individuality
and stature. Also, he combined these hardstones with precious metals
and gems, seamlessly integrating each with the other creating miniature
works of art with each figure or flower made. His animals had what
art historians describe as "psychologically interpretive aspects",
the accentuation of particular characteristics of each subject giving
them personalities and very distinctive charm. They were much sought
after and, today, like all Fabergé treasures, they reside in
museum collections; The Forbes Collection, The Royal Collection in
London, The Collection of the Prince of Wales and several museums in
Moscow each having substantial hardstone collections.
