Incredible Fabergé!
Lot 6: FABERGÉ ÉTUDE D’UNE VIOLETTE EN OR, CRISTAL DE ROCHE, NÉPHRITE ET ÉMAIL
Estimate: EUR 200,000 - 300,000
Joaillerie | Paris | 19 - 27 June
The production of flower studies by Fabergé is thought to have begun in the 1880s. The collaborative process involved many skilled artists and goldsmiths of the firm. It began with designs which, according to H.C. Bainbridge, were often executed by Carl Fabergé himself. The work was then carried out in stages: setting the precious stones, enamelling the flowers, adding the gold stalks and grasses, and finally assembling the flowers.
Fabergé’s elegant creations were often placed in rock-crystal vases, carved in trompe l’oeil technique from a single piece of rock crystal to give the illusion of water. The shaped golden stems were delicately engraved with fine lines, and the flowers or berries were often executed in enamelled gold.
