Jewellery, Silver and Objects of Vertu

Three Russian miniature gold egg pendants, circa 1900, the first decorated with an enamel Union Jack on a guilloché opaline ground, the second hammered gold egg with a tiger’s eye cabochon, the third a silver horseshoe pendant enclosing a rhodochrosite egg within lattice cage, all 56 standard, various maker’s marks, each on small loop attached to a larger suspension loop, lengths 19 - 29mm.

Eggs with the British flag were made by Fabergé and Russian goldsmiths in support of the fact that Russian and Britain were allies in the Great War.
