拍品專文

This wooden box is a wonderful example of Fabergé's works in neo-Russian style. It is a simple but very elegant object, which revives Russian folklore and celebrates its past. The finely carved stylised bird on the cover of the box is reminiscent of a Firebird from the Russian fairy tales. The silver mounts and cabochon stones on the box cleverly imitate the patterns that could be found on medieval pieces.

Another wooden box with a very similar scratched number '19875' was purchased by Emperor Nicholas II and Empress Alexandra Feodorovna in July 1906.
