Save Shipping Costs with Our Popular Combined Shipping Service

Save shipping costs with our popular combined shipping service, which is available for almost all items we offer.
If you win multiple items from us within the same themed auction, please wait until Catawiki combines your won lots into one combined order with only one set of shipping costs whenever possible.
If payment is completed too early, this unfortunately no longer works, because Catawiki automatically creates separate orders. In such cases, we carry out one shipment per order and unfortunately cannot refund double-paid shipping costs afterwards.
We therefore highly recommend waiting until all desired auctions from the same themed auction have ended before completing payment.

House of Fabergé / Franklin Mint – Hummingbird Egg – Limited Edition – 24-Carat Gold-Plated Stand – Faceted Semi-Precious Stone

An elaborate Hummingbird Egg from House of Fabergé and Franklin Mint, combining a sculptural floral design with two colourful hummingbirds and a richly ornamented, 24-carat gold-plated stand.

The open egg-shaped composition frames the birds among textured pink blossoms, small flower buds and curling green foliage. One hummingbird hovers inside the opening, while the second approaches the flowers from above, creating a lively scene with depth and movement.

A fully faceted semi-precious stone is set into one of the flowers, adding a sparkling detail to the naturalistic decoration. The pale green background, finely modelled feathers and layered leaves contrast attractively with the warm gold finish of the stand.

This limited edition collector’s piece bears the House of Fabergé marking and an individual handwritten edition number beneath the stand. The item is nearly 40 years old. We are not certain whether the wing has ever been glued. Should the piece come loose, you agree to repair it yourself using two drops of glue.
