Description from the seller
An object of absolute elegance and refinement
This imperial egg by Joan Rivers, from the Imperial Treasures collection, is part of the tradition of decorative objects inspired by the famous eggs of the House of Fabergé. Joan Rivers, passionate about decorative arts and historic jewelry, designed this collection as a tribute to imperial splendor and the treasures of European courts.
The egg features a richly worked openwork decor, rhythmically adorned with finely chiseled geometric and floral motifs. The translucent panels with deep amber reflections catch the light elegantly, while the gold-plated metal finish gives the whole a noble and refined presence.
The object rests on an elegant base with balanced lines, enhancing its ceremonial and decorative character. The opening reveals a carefully finished interior, designed to be admired both when closed and open.
Inside, there is the traditional 'surprise,' true to the spirit of Fabergé revisited by Joan Rivers: a finely crafted, miniature gilded carriage, delicately sculpted, with delicate wheels and panels decorated in deep red. This miniature evokes ceremonial teams and official processions, adding a narrative and poetic dimension to the whole.
Every detail is executed with remarkable care.
