THE IMPERIAL WINTER EGG BY FABERGÉ (1913)

A Masterpiece of Alma Theresia Pihl and the Holmström Workshop
St Petersburg, 1913

Commissioned by Emperor Nicholas II as his Easter gift to his mother, the Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna, the Imperial Winter Egg stands among the most poetic and technically sophisticated creations of Carl Fabergé’s ateliers. Conceived by the young designer Alma Theresia Pihl and executed in the celebrated workshop of Albert Holmström, it is a triumph of imagination, virtuosity and symbolic refinement.

Description of the Egg

Carved from a single block of rock crystal, the egg reveals a delicately frosted interior, suggesting winter light caught beneath a thin layer of ice. The exterior is adorned with a constellation of platinum snowflakes set with rose-cut diamonds and two vertical diamond-set borders cleverly disguising the hinge. At its apex sits a cabochon moonstone engraved with the date 1913, a subtle reminder of the Romanov tercentenary.

The Base

The egg rests upon a sculptural block of melting ice, also carved in rock crystal, its surface enlivened with flowing platinum rivulets set with rose-cut diamonds. A central platinum pin rises from the base to support the egg with absolute precision.

The Surprise

Suspended within is one of the most enchanting surprises in the Fabergé oeuvre:
a double-handled trelliswork basket in platinum, entirely pavé-set with rose-cut diamonds. It overflows with lifelike wood anemones carved from white quartz, each with gold wire stamens and a demantoid garnet at its centre. The leaves, rendered in exquisitely shaped nephrite, emerge from a bed of finely modelled gold moss.
The base of the basket is engraved ‘FABERGÉ 1913’.

Measurements

  • Egg with base: 14.2 cm (5 5/8 in.) high
  • Surprise: 8.2 cm (3 1/4 in.) high

Provenance

  • 1913: Commissioned by Emperor Nicholas II and presented to the Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna.
  • 1913–1917: Anichkov Palace, St Petersburg.
  • 1917: Transferred by the Provisional Government to the Kremlin Armoury for safekeeping.
  • 1922: Selected by the Special Commission and transferred to Gokhran.
  • 1929–1933: Acquired by Wartski, London (Snowman was one of a pioneering few who made purchases from the Soviet Government department, known as the Antiquariat, between 1927 until 1933. (£450).
  • 1934: Purchased by Napier Sturt, 3rd Baron Alington (£1,500).
  • 1934–1948: Collection of Sir Bernard Eckstein.
  • 1949: Sotheby’s London, 8 February, Lot 128 (£1,870), acquired by Arthur Bryan Ledbrook.
  • 1994: Property of a Trust; Christie’s Geneva, 16 November, Lot 464 (CHF 7,263,500 – world record for Fabergé).
  • 2002: Christie’s New York, 19 April, Lot 150 ($9,579,500 – world record for Fabergé).
  • After 2002: Attributed to the collection of Sheikh Saud bin Mohammed Al-Thani (He became one of the most voracious contemporary art buyers around the turn of the Millennium, serving as Qatar’s chief cultural patron. Sheikh Saud bin Mohammed Al-Thani is believed to have spent close to £1 billion on art acquisitions before facing allegations of misusing public funds in 2005; he died nine years later, in exile, at the age of just 48. Persistent rumours suggest that the Winter Egg was never collected from Christie’s — nor fully paid for — and that the auction house may now be offering it in order to recover the funds it advanced at the time of the 2002 sale.)
  • 2025: sold again at Christie’s London as part of a “Princely Collection” GBP 22,895,000 to Wartski after 100 years.

Gold and diamond Cyclamen Tiara | A rare example of the Art Nouveau taste by Faberge

A remarkable Faberge Tiara by the famous Russian goldsmith, his jewellery is rare and his tiaras are rarer still. Despite the fact that Faberge is better known today for its imperial Easter eggs, hardstone animals and flower studies, the purchases by the Imperial Family in the 1890s show that it was also a jewellery manufacturer of the highest order.
The craftsmanship and design that has made the Faberge atelier so famous you will see at that tiara in the form of a graduated band of Cyclamen coum tied with knots of ribbon, purchased from Faberge for the Hon Mrs Wilson Fox. The tiara can be effortlessly removed from its gold frame and worn as an articulated fringe necklace.

A previously undisclosed Fabergé Brooch emerged into public view when Queen Camilla adorned herself with a heritage piece of Queen Alexandra on the 11th of March, in celebration of Commonwealth Day. This remarkable piece revealed two portions of what are three components of a royal Fabergé Cloak Clasp.
