Guilloché Enamel Case
Fabergé
Circa 1910
This elegant guilloché enamel case by the House of Fabergé exemplifies the elegance and technical mastery of Imperial Russian objets de vertu. Crafted circa 1910 under the direction of workmaster August Frederik Hollming, it features a luminous cobalt blue enamel ground over a deeply engine-turned surface, paired with a diamond-set clasp. Combining the prestigious workmaster, rich guilloché enamel and jeweled mounts, it represents one of the most desirable categories of Fabergé production.
August Hollming was one of Fabergé’s principal workmasters, active from circa 1880 to 1913, and closely associated with the production of jewelry and luxury cases. His workshop specialized in finely enameled and gem-set objects, including cigarette cases such as this, which were among Fabergé’s most sought-after accessories in the late Imperial period. Works bearing his mark are prized for their craftsmanship and place within Fabergé’s most refined output, underscoring the importance of this example. The interior bears a later Italian inscription, “Pietroburgo 1913 Ricordo E.R.,” reflecting its manufacture in St. Petersburg and suggesting its role as a commemorative gift.
The House of Fabergé was founded in 1842 in Saint Petersburg, Russia, by Gustav Faberge. In 1872, Peter Carl Fabergé took over his father's small jewelry atelier and transformed it into the world's most important decorative arts enterprise. The firm developed a devoted clientele, including the Romanov Imperial family. The Russian Revolution of 1917 brought an end to the Romanov dynasty as well as the exile of Peter Carl Fabergé to Switzerland. In the wake of the Revolution, many Fabergé treasures were lost or destroyed. Items of silver and gold, including many of the court and presentation pieces created for the Tsar, were melted down, making surviving Fabergé objects from this time all the rarer.
Struck with “Fabergé” in Cyrillic for the St. Petersburg workshop and the workmaster’s mark of August Hollming, along with the Russian 88 zolotnik silver standard
