A creation by Theo Fabergé inspired by the homeland of his forefathers. The richness and intricate detail of this design reflect the opulence of the Imperial Court, the magnificent palaces and elegant architectural style of this great city, St. Petersburg. A sterling silver Egg surmounted by the Imperial Crown, enriched with 18 karat gold, rests on a snow white marble base. The delicately ornate structure of this objet symbolises the palaces in St. Petersburg. On opening the Egg the surprise, a miniature replica of the splendid brocade adorning the Imperial Palace, woven on the very same looms.
