Commissioned by Tsar Nicholas II in 1898, this exquisite object captures the fragility of the flower through its pink enamelled egg, designed in the elegant Art Nouveau style. Green enamelled leaves animate the composition, drawing the eye to the egg’s defining element: the lily of the valley itself. Crafted from gold and adorned with pearls and diamonds, the piece exemplifies

Renowned for his floral creations and hardstone carvings, Peter Carl Fabergé had already gifted Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna an Imperial Flower Arrangement of Lilies of the Valley in 1896, two years prior to the commissioning of the celebrated egg. One of its most fascinating details lies in the base, where the earth is rendered as moss through meticulously wire-cut gold – an extraordinary demonstration of precision, ingenuity and artistic excellence. | | Renowned for his floral creations and hardstone carvings, Peter Carl Fabergé had already gifted Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna an Imperial Flower Arrangement of Lilies of the Valley in 1896, two years prior to the commissioning of the celebrated egg.
