Description

Silver-Gilt, Aventurine and Guilloché Enamel Frame
Fabergé
Circa 1890

This exceptional silver-gilt and guilloché enamel frame by the House of Fabergé represents the height of Imperial Russian craftsmanship, executed under master workman Michael Evlampievich Perkhin. Its combination of luminous green guilloché enamel, blush-toned aventurine and a finely modeled gilt ribbon crest—a recognized Fabergé motif—places it among the most desirable types of Fabergé objects. Bearing the 88 silver standard and retaining its original fitted Fabergé case, it is a rare and complete survival from one of history’s most celebrated decorative arts workshops.

As one of Fabergé’s principal workmasters, Michael Perchin oversaw the firm’s most important commissions, including the Imperial Easter Eggs for the Romanov court. His workshop was especially renowned for guilloché enamel, making examples such as this particularly significant. Frames bearing his mark are held in institutions including the Royal Collection Trust, underscoring their importance within Russian decorative arts.

Founded in 1842 in Saint Petersburg, the House of Fabergé rose under Peter Carl Fabergé to become the preeminent luxury firm of Imperial Russia, serving the Romanov family and elite clientele. Following the Russian Revolution of 1917, many Fabergé works were lost or destroyed, making surviving examples—especially those retaining their original cases—increasingly rare.
