A finely crafted Russian silver-gilt egg by Fabergé, marked with 84 zolotnik standard (.875 silver) and stamped with Fabergé workshop marks. The body is richly engraved with alternating foliate scrolls, lattice, and geometric ornament, the gilt finish enhancing the contrast between the recessed patterns and polished surfaces.
The egg is surmounted by a cabochon sapphire finial, mounted in a silver bezel, lending both colour and refinement to the design. At the upper section, a finely engraved crest and motto “Concilio et Labore” (By wisdom and effort) further personalise the piece, likely a special commission.
The egg sits upon a spreading circular foot, engraved with stylised foliate motifs and further ornamental borders, ensuring balance and elegance when displayed. The hinged opening reveals a gilded interior, warm in tone and consistent with Fabergé’s quality in silver-gilt works.
It is preserved with its original fitted Fabergé case, lined with satin and velvet, stamped with the Imperial double-headed eagle and the Fabergé name with St. Petersburg, Moscow, and London addresses — underscoring its authenticity and luxury provenance.
