An elegant reproduction of the sumptuous
Faberge designed Art Nouveau Easter Egg that was originally
given in 1898 to the Russian Empress Tsarina Alexandra by her husband
Tsar Nicholas II. It was one of the most beloved gifts of the young Empress. Highlights of the egg include translucent emerald
enamel leaves and climbing gold sprays of lily of the valley set
with dozens of jewel-cut Austrian gemstones and covered with elegant
faux pearls. These are set off by translucent coral enamel over a precisely engraved
guilloche background. The "surprise" is three portraits of Tsar Nicolas II and
his two oldest daughters, Grand Duchess Olga and Grand Duchess Tatiana, who meant the world to the Tsarina. The portraits are surmounted by the Russian Imperial crown.
