Description from the seller
Magnificent collectible music egg in fine porcelain, made by House of Fabergé, from the prestigious “Musical Eggs” collection, inspired by the creations of the famous imperial jeweler Peter Carl Fabergé.
Model: Tulip – Musical Egg
This elegant music box in the shape of an egg pays tribute to the beauty of tulips and the refinement of Russian imperial decorative arts. It adopts the aesthetic codes characterizing the Fabergé universe, combining fine porcelain, sumptuous floral decor and rich 24-karat gold-plated ornaments.
The egg features a magnificent design delicately hand-painted, depicting splendid red and pink tulips on a bright azure blue background. The floral compositions are framed by elegant gilded Baroque scrolls, creating a particularly refined contrast and highlighting the fineness of the porcelain.
The lid, richly decorated, is topped by an elegant button in the shape of a stylized flower. Its opening reveals a blue felt-lined interior, also allowing this magnificent piece to be used as a case for a small jewel or precious object.
The egg rests on a sumptuous ornamental pedestal with generous 24-karat gold plating, reinforcing its majestic appearance and imperial inspiration.
This remarkable creation houses a spring-wound mechanical musical movement that plays the gentle melody “Our Love” by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. The mechanism has been tested and functions correctly.
