Russian Imperial Scroll Box

	Peter Carl Fabergé (Russian, 1846–1920), jeweler to the last two czars of the Romanov dynasty, emphasized creativity and workmanship in making his intricate objets d'art, which included magnificent jewelry, clocks, enamel cigarette cases, boxes, and frames. The ultimate achievement of the House of Fabergé is the series of jeweled Easter eggs created for Czars Alexander III and Nicholas II of Russia. These delicate “works of fantasy” often memorialized important occasions in the reign of the Imperial Romanov family. Among them is the Imperial Peter the Great Easter Egg, created in 1903 to commemorate the bicentenary of St. Petersburg, founded by Peter the Great in 1703. The design on our box is based on the floral garlands of varicolored golds and platinum that decorate the egg. Produced in cooperation with the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Richmond. Made expressly for the Metropolitan Museum in the United States. 24K gold plate, with colored epoxy. Length 3 in., width 2 in., depth 3/4 in.
