Description from the seller
Magnificent fine porcelain collection music box, made by Franklin Mint for the Franklin Medalist, from the prestigious collection of Imperial Music Boxes, inspired by the creations of the famous jeweler Peter Carl Fabergé.
Model: The Stone Flower (La Fleur de Pierre)
This elegant music box pays homage to the famous Russian tale “The Stone Flower,” blending magic, beauty and traditional folklore. It preserves the refined character of Fabergé-inspired creations, combining finely worked porcelain, translucent enamels and rich 24-karat gold highlights.
The box features a superb hand-painted scene, with vivid colors on a deep black background. This polychrome decor, rich in detail, evokes the famous Russian lacquer miniatures and the magical world of traditional fairy tales.
The lid, richly guilloched, is enhanced by magnificent translucent enamels and adorned with a green cabochon imitation at its center. The mounts and the elegant feet are generously gilded in 24-karat gold, adding a precious and refined touch to the whole.
