Peter Carl Faberge was rightly hailed as an artist who opened up 'a new era in jewellery art'. The unique masterpieces for the aristocracy of nineteenth-century Europe are rightly valued amongst the great treasures of the world. Indeed, his work, imaginatively conceived and beautifully executed, elevated jewellery to an artistic excellence unequalled since the Renaissance. FABERGÉ's spectacularly bejewelled eggs are symbolic of creation and new life and, today, his art and vision lives on in this exquisite pendant commissioned exclusively by the Royal Mint to celebrate the life of the late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II upon the restoration of the Fabergé brand to family ownership.
Estimate: £5000 - £6000
