Peter Carl Fabergé, also known as Karl Gustavovich Fabergé (Russian: Karl Gustavovich Faberzhe; 30 May 1846 – 24 September 1920), was a Russian jeweller best known for the famous Fabergé eggs made in the style of genuine Easter eggs, but using precious metals and gemstones rather than more mundane materials. He was one of the sons of the founder of the famous jewelry legacy House of Fabergé.
Faberge was born in Saint Petersburg, Russia, to the Baltic German jeweller Gustav Fabergé and his German wife Charlotte Jungstedt, the daughter of Katarina Augusta Hertig and Karl Jungstedt. Gustav Fabergé's paternal ancestors were Huguenots, originally from La Bouteille, Picardy, who fled from France after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, first to Germany near Berlin, then in 1800 to the Pernau (today Pärnu)[2] Baltic province of Livonia, then part of Russia, now Estonia.
Until he was 14 years old he went to the German St Anne School in Saint Petersburg, Russia.[citation needed] In 1860 his father retired from his jewelry business and moved with his family to Germany. He left the House of Fabergé in Saint Petersburg in the hands of his business partner. Carl Fabergé undertook a course at the Dresden Arts and Crafts School. In 1862 Agathon Fabergé, the Fabergés' second son, was born in Dresden, Germany, where he went to school as well.
In 1864, Peter Carl Fabergé embarked upon a Grand Tour of Europe. He received tuition from respected goldsmiths in Germany, France and England, attended a course at Schloss's Commercial College in Paris, and viewed the objects in the galleries of Europe's leading museums.
His travel and study continued until 1872, when at the age of 26 he returned to St. Petersburg and married Augusta Julia Jacobs. 1874 saw the arrival of his first child, Eugene Fabergé and two years later, Agathon Fabergé was born; Alexander Fabergé and Nicholas Fabergé followed in 1877 and 1884 respectively. For the following 10 years, his father's trusted workmaster Hiskias Pendin acted as his mentor and tutor. The company was also involved with cataloguing, repairing, and restoring objects in the Hermitage during the 1870s. In 1881 the business moved to larger street-level premises at 16/18 Bolshaya Morskaya.

PETER CARL FABERGÉ (Saint Petersburg, 1846 - Lausanne, 1920). "Zarevich Aleksei Nikolayevich Romanov". Silver 84 Zolotniki partially gilded. The pedestal is from a later period. It has punches. Provenance: collection of Mariano Miguel Maldonado (1825-1921), Count of Villagonzalo and ambassador of Spain in Saint Petersburg. Measurements: 10 x 3 x 3 cm; 7,5 x 5 x 5 x 5 cm (base). Silver sculpture representing Tsarevich Alexei Nikolayevich Romanov, heir of the last Tsar of Russia. The piece is an exceptional example of Russian imperial goldsmithery, made by the famous Fabergé house under the direction of the master Peter Carl Fabergé. The figure, with an erect and noble bearing, is dressed in the dress uniform of the St. Petersburg Academy of Pages, one of the most elite educational institutions of the Empire, responsible for the military and courtly training of the nobility. This iconographic choice not only underlines the portrayed's status as heir to the throne, but also visually reinforces the relationship between dynastic lineage, aristocratic education and military duty in the imaginary of Russian power at the beginning of the 20th century. Executed in solid silver, the sculpture features a meticulously chiseled surface to truthfully reproduce the texture of the uniform, the metallic sheen of the buttons and the martial rigidity of the posture. Details such as the pleating of the tailcoat, the symmetrical arrangement of the buttons, the delicate modeling of the youthful face, and the meticulous rendering of the gala cap with the imperial coat of arms in relief, demonstrate the technical virtuosity of the Fabergé workshop. This is not a simple miniature of courtly representation, but a fully sculptural sculpture, in which volume, proportion and iconographic fidelity are articulated with a refined and sober language, devoid of any decorative excess, but loaded with symbolism. This type of sculptural portraits in noble metal, linked to the Romanov family, is part of a courtly tradition that finds in Fabergé one of its greatest exponents, combining technical excellence with a deep political and emotional charge. Alexei's sculpture not only represents the individual, but also stands as an emblem of a dynasty on the verge of collapse, capturing in precious metal the idealized image of the heir as a symbol of continuity, stability and imperial future. The irreproachable workmanship of the piece and the relevance of its author place this piece in the field of European high goldsmithing, not only as a luxury object, but also as a historical and artistic testimony of the decline of a monarchy and of Fabergé's undisputed genius in miniature sculptural art. Later period pedestal. Provenance: collection of Mariano Miguel Maldonado (1825-1921), Count of Villagonzalo and ambassador of Spain in St. Petersburg.

Adapting to the new political circumstances, these goldsmiths continued to produce in the Fabergé style, albeit with symbols of the new government. During the Brezhnev era, it became customary in the Soviet Union to give each other elaborate gifts. There was a great demand for elaborate ornamental objects in the style of Fabergé. This gave rise to a new generation of jewelers and goldsmiths who created high-quality works of art in the tradition of the historical past.

A highly significant unique colonnade clock In the style of Peter Carl Fabergé Saint Petersburg 1846 - 1920 Switzerland Russia Circa 2000 Height 24.5 cm, diameter 12.5 cm Based on the colonnade egg by Fabergé from 1910 Russian jade, pink enamel Decorated in 14kt yellow gold (marked) Circumferential 8 columns with ionic capitals Two doves in the centre, symbolising a pair of lovers Dome decorated with openwork gold ornaments & diamonds, at the top a pink cabochon-cut semi-precious stone Figures of the egg-shaped clock set with diamonds, in the hand an oval diamond of 6 mm On the back the movement is to be wound, key also 14kt yellow gold Time display by rotation of the numerals Clock running, movement not checked First-class condition (1 diamond, diameter approx. 1mm, missing), can easily be replaced The goldsmith and jeweller Peter Carl Fabergé is known for his artistic pieces of jewellery, especially the Fabergé eggs. However, he also produced other works and exerted great influence on subsequent generations of jewellers. This extremely valuable piece not only impresses with its use of precious materials such as gold, jade, and wavy guilloché pink as well as white enamel, but also with its unusual design, which incorporates elements from various major works by Carl Fabergé. There are only four Fabergé Easter eggs in total that contain a clock. The colonnade architecture is related to that of the 1910 Colonnade Egg, which was made by Henrik Wigström under Fabergé's supervision and is now in the Royal Collection (RCIN inv. no. 40084) of the British royal family. It is a revolving clock egg that was created for Tsar Nicholas II of Russia as a gift for his wife Alexandra Feodorovna. The architecture of the Colonnade Egg symbolises the temple of love, with this interpretation being underpinned by the addition of a pair of doves as a symbol of lovers. However, the time is shown in Arabic numerals. This is not the case with the Madonna Lily Egg from 1899, where the time is shown in Roman numerals, similar to the object presented here. The enamelled band with twelve diamond-decorated numerals rotates around the perimeter of the egg; the clock is wound using a gold key. It was made by Michael Perchin and also served as a gift from the Tsar to his wife. Today, this egg is kept in the Kremlin Armoury in Moscow (inv. no. MP-653/I-2).
Walking stick In the style of Peter Carl Fabergé St Petersburg 1846 - 1920 Switzerland Wooden cane Russian jade handle Silver enamel Red enamel with silver-gilt decorative elements Total length 96.5 cm, handle length 11 cm, ornamental shaft length 4.5 cm Total weight 572g The goldsmith and jeweller Peter Carl Fabergé is known for his artistic jewellery, especially the Fabergé eggs. However, he also produced other works and exerted great influence on subsequent generations of jewellers. The Fabergé walking sticks, which could be made of hard stones, enamel, and precious stones, are exceptional and revive 18th century craftsmanship techniques that Carl Fabergé discovered during his Grand Tour of Europe. Walking sticks were popular as objects of power and prestige long before Fabergé. Still, in the first half of the 20th century, Fabergé developed detailed and magnificently crafted walking sticks together with workshop manager Henrik Wigström. For example, enamel was applied to the metal areas, here in a red guilloché ground under gilded decorative elements.
Decorative object In the style of Peter Carl Fabergé St Petersburg 1846 - 1920 Switzerland Russia Photo frame, silver-gilt (88 Zolotniki, master's mark EK), enamelled & decorated with diamonds all round Sphinx, silver-gilt (88 Zolotniki, master's mark EK) Base made from cut agate Length 10 cm, width 8 cm, height 12 cm Diameter of photo frame 6.1 cm Total weight 508 g The goldsmith and jeweller Peter Carl Fabergé is known for his artistic jewellery, especially the Fabergé eggs. However, he also produced other works and exerted great influence on subsequent generations of jewellers. This decorative ornamental object in the style of Carl Fabergé is a table picture frame with a sphinx with a pharaoh's face and Nemes headscarf on a cut agate base. It carries a photo frame on its head, the base of which is enamelled in turquoise and guilloched in a wavy pattern. Such table picture frames were popular and are often found in the form of columns; however, the depiction of a sphinx together with a picture frame is rare. However, the Lithuanian silversmith and Fabergé master Julius Alexander Rappoport created interesting decorative objects in the form of naturalistic animal figures, including sphinxes, for example as lighters or table bells.
Egg; Minks; Russia, 1879. Presents silver stamps. Measurements: 14 x 8 cm. The work is modelled on the Easter eggs created by the Russian jeweller Peter Carl Fabergé (1846 - 1920) for Tsars Alexander III and Nicholas II. Thus, it is an ornamental piece richly adorned with gemstones, gilding and cobalt blue enamelling, raised on three lions symbolising greatness and power and surmounted by an eagle with its wings spread, symbolising protection and freedom.

PETER CARL FABERGE (Russia, 1846 - Switzerland, 1920). Wine decanter. Silver and terracotta. Missing a soldering point on the lid. With contrasts. With Raquel Meller inscription. Measurements: 24 x 12 x 6 cm. A beautiful chiselled silver structure partially envelops this decanter for pouring wine. It is a creation of the illustrious workshop of the jeweller Fabergé with floral decorations in relief, raised on a highly decorative rocaille base. It has a stylised handle with scrolls. Its centre has a pavilion with the inscription 'Raquel Meller', which indicates that it may have been a gift from an aficionado to the famous Spanish singer, cupletista and film actress. The Russian jeweller Peter Carl Fabergé is considered one of the world's foremost goldsmiths, and is especially known for his Easter eggs commissioned by Tsar Alexander III and later by his son, Nicholas II. Born in St. Petersburg, Fabergé was trained in the family jewellery workshop, through the Grand Tour of Europe from 1864 onwards and possibly at the School of Arts and Crafts in Dresden. On his return from his trip he was mentored by Hiskias Pendin, the master goldsmith in his father's firm, with whom he catalogued and restored objects at the Hermitage during the 1870s. After Pendin's death in 1882 Fabergé took over the management of the workshop, soon achieving an enormous reputation through official exhibitions such as the Pan-Russian Exhibition in Moscow in 1882, where he won the gold medal and the St. Stanislaus medal. The Tsar's admiration for his work began just at this time, and Fabergé soon became the favourite jeweller of the Russian imperial court. Just three years later, in 1885, Alexander III appointed Fabergé as the official jeweller to the imperial household. In addition to making the famous Easter eggs between 1887 and 1917, Fabergé produced a wide range of items, from tableware to jewellery, and in 1900 he represented Russia at the Universal Exhibition in Paris, where he was unable to compete because he was on the jury. However, the firm was forced to close with the outbreak of the October Revolution, which was nationalised by the Bolsheviks. Fabergé's works are now housed in leading museums around the world, including the Metropolitan Museum in New York and the Royal Collection in London.

The synaxis (feast day) for this icon is on February 12,[4] as well as on Bright Tuesday,[2] and also on October 13 for the translation to Moscow of the Iveron icon.[5] 17th-century Russian version: Iverskaya. The icon belongs to a family of images of the Theotokos known as Hodegetria (Greek: Όδηγήτρια, "she who leads the way") after the prototype from Constantinople. In these icons, the Christ Child sits on his mother's left arm and she is depicted pointing to Christ with her right hand. Another famous icon based upon Hodegetria is Our Lady of Częstochowa. A unique characteristic of this icon is what appears to be a scar on the Virgin Mary's right cheek or her chin. A number of different traditions exist to explain this, but the one most commonly held by Orthodox Christians is that the icon was stabbed by a soldier in Nicaea during the period of Byzantine iconoclasm under the Emperor Theophilus (829–842). According to tradition, when the icon was stabbed, blood miraculously flowed out of the wound. The original in Iveron is encased in a chased riza of silver and gold covering almost all the figures except the faces, as is common with the most venerated icons. 2) Peter Carl Fabergé, also known as Karl Gustavovich Fabergé (Russian: Карл Гу́ставович Фаберже́, Karl Gustavovich Faberzhe; 30 May 1846 – 24 September 1920), was a Russian jeweller best known for the famous Fabergé eggs made in the style of genuine Easter eggs, but using precious metals and gemstones rather than more mundane materials. He was one of the sons of the founder of the famous jewelry legacy House of Fabergé.

Historique Feodor Rückert a commencé à collaborer avec la maison Fabergé à partir de 1887 en imposant un style parfaitement reconnaissable. En effet, véritable virtuose de la technique des émaux cloisonnés, Rückert sublime chaque objet par des émaux qui rendent son style unique. A la fin du XIXe siècle, il s’attache plutôt à développer une technique des émaux aux nuances pastel puis, dès 1908, l’avènement des motifs néo-russes et l’usage des couleurs sombres et froides marque un tournant dans la production de l’orfèvre. Par le biais de la technique de l’émail sur filigranes d’argent, Rückert révolutionne la technique des émaux et de l’orfèvrerie, les cloisons ne servant plus uniquement à compartimenter mais comme un décor à part entière à travers des motifs de style Art Nouveau. Ce fin travail des émaux cloisonnés servait de cadre et de faire-valoir à des scènes émaillées en plein à l’aspect mat dont seul Rückert avait le secret, permettant de faire ressortir la couleur et la brillance des émaux. Les scènes choisies étaient toutes des copies d’après des tableaux réalisés au début du XXe siècle en lien avec l’ère de « boyarmania » qui débute dès 1880 et qui prospère jusqu’au Tricentenaire, en 1913, de la dynastie des Romanov où l’aristocratie russe s’empare des traditions passées pour faire renaître les fastes d’une vielle Russie oubliée. L’atelier de Fabergé de Moscou, à la différence de celui de Saint-Pétersbourg, symbolisait par sa production l’âme russe et répondait à une demande plus nationaliste et tournée vers des références propres à la tradition slave. Les tableaux les plus populaires sont les ceux de Makovsky, Vasnetsov ou Solomko mais dans le cas précis de notre kovch, la scène émaillée met en lumière un des monuments les plus emblématiques de l’histoire et l’architecture moscovite dont les origines remontent au XIe siècle. Véritable forteresse et résidence des tsars jusqu’au XVIIIe siècle, il incarne le berceau de la Vieille Russie à un moment de l’histoire où le pouvoir est encore installé à Saint-Pétersbourg. Au regard des divers objets d’orfèvrerie réalisés par Rückert décorés de cette même scène du Kremlin vu depuis la Moskova, il semble aisé de reconnaître qu’elle a connu un certain succès dans la production de Rückert. Toutefois, elle orne pour la première fois un kovch, pièce emblématique de l’orfèvrerie russe, en devenant un véritable bijou d’orfèvrerie encore inconnu du marché et des ouvrages de références. Cette incroyable découverte met une nouvelle fois en lumière la virtuosité et l’excellence jusqu’ici inégalées du travail de l’émail par Feodor Rückert pour la célèbre maison Fabergé tout en participant à l’enrichissement de l’histoire de l’art.

Сопутствующие произведения - Прямоугольная коробка с точно такой же эмалевой сценой хранится в Королевском коллекционном фонде (RCIN 32474) размером 3,1 x 7,9 x 5 см, подаренная королю Георгу V (1865-1936) в октябре 1920 года дочерью Великой княгини Марии Александровны (1853-1920). - Портсигар размером 9 см, покрытый эмалью с изображением такого же рисунка что и на ковше, был продан на аукционе Jackson’s Auctioneers 15 ноября 2011 года, лот No 236 (продан на аукционе за 60 000 долларов). - Портсигар, также полностью повторяющий узор нашего ковша, хранится в частной коллекции и проиллюстрирован в книге Федора Рюкерта - Карл Фаберже, Москва, 2016, с.77. - Шкатулка размером 18 см, с идентичным видом Кремля со стороны Москвы-реки, была продана на лондонском аукционе Sotheby's 26 ноября 2019 года, лот No 404 (продан на аукционе за 200000 фунтов стерлингов). История Федор Рюкерт начал сотрудничать с домом Фаберже в 1887 году, создавая свой собственный неповторимый стиль. Он прославился своей неподражаемой техникой перегородчатой эмали, в которой, ему не было равных. Эта техника в ювелирном искусстве - одна из самых давних и считалась вершиной прикладного искусства Киевской Руси. В конце XIX века Рюкерт использовал глазури пастельных оттенков, но к 1908 году его палитра стала преображаться и на смену пастельным тонам пришли глубокие темные и холодные цвета, поводом тому послужило посвемествое распространение неорусского стиля, это время стало поворотным в творчестве мастера. Используя технику эмали на серебряной филиграни, Рюкерт произвел настоящую революцию в ювелирном искусстве, перегородки больше не служат для разделения частей, но являются самостоятельными элементами узора, воплощающие новый стиль Модерн. Все выбранные сцены были копиями картин, созданных в начале 20 века в связи с эпохой «боярмании», которая началась в 1880 году и процветала до трехсотлетия династии Романовых в 1913 году, когда Русская аристократия чтит старые традиции, чтобы возродить былое величие России. Мастерская Фаберже в Москве, в отличие от петербургской, символизировала своим производством русскую душу и отвечала более националистическим запросам и обращалась к сюжетам более близким славянской традиции. Самые популярные сюжеты - это картины Маковского, Васнецова или Соломко, но в конкретном случае нашего ковша эмалированная сцена воспевает один из самых знаковых памятников истории и московской архитектуры, истоки которого восходят к XI веку. Кремль являлся крепостью и резиденцией царей до XIII века, он олицетворяет колыбель Древней Руси. Этот вид Кремля был популярен для оформления изделий Рюкерта, что указывает на популярность данного образа. Однако Кремль здесь впервые украшает такое изделие как ковш, символ русского ювелирного искусства. Такое новое для рынка искусства произведение, является уникальным в своем роде. Это невероятное открытие еще раз проливает свет на беспрецедентную виртуозность и совершенство эмалевых работ Федора Рюкерта для знаменитого Дома Фаберже и вносит вклад во всемирную историю искусства.

Le couvercle s’ouvrant à charnière à décor d’une scène émaillée en plein d’après l’œuvre de Sergueï Sergeevich Solomko (1867-1928) intitulée Scribe datant de 1910. Très bon état. Moscou, 1910-1917. Orfèvre : Feodor RÜCKERT pour Carl FABERGÉ. Numéro d'inventaire gravé de la Maison Fabergé : 26468. Poids brut : 82,10 g. H. 2,3 x L. 5 x P. 5 cm. Provenance Collection particulière, Paris. Historique Feodor Rückert a commencé à collaborer avec la maison Fabergé à partir de 1887 en imposant un style parfaitement reconnaissable. En effet, véritable virtuose de la technique du cloisonné, Rückert sublime chaque objet par des émaux qui rendent son style unique. À la fin du XIXe siècle, il s’attache plutôt à développer une technique des émaux aux nuances pastel puis, dès 1908, l’avènement des motifs néo-russes et l’usage des couleurs sombres et froides marque un tournant dans la production de l’orfèvre. Par le biais de la technique de l’émail sur filigranes d’argent, Rückert révolutionne la technique des émaux de manière générale et de l’orfèvrerie, les cloisons ne servant plus uniquement à compartimenter mais comme un décor à part entière à travers des motifs de style Art Nouveau. Serguey Sergueevich Solomko (1867-1928) Reconnu par ses pairs comme un des meilleurs aquarellistes et illustrateur de la fin du XIXe siècle, ses œuvres sont aujourd’hui principalement connues grâce aux cartes postales éditées par la communauté Sainte-Eugénie et grâce aux journaux de l’époque « Niva » ou « Le Soleil de Russie » qu’il illustre largement aux côtés d’Élizabeth Boehm (1843-1914). A eux deux, ils révolutionnent ce nouveau domaine des Beaux-Arts et inscrivent ainsi leur art à rebours de la production de leurs contemporains. Solomko aime à dépeindre la Russie fastueuse et passée de l’époque des Boyards à travers un style symboliste et une palette délicate. Ces scènes empreintes de féerie seront très appréciées par la Maison Fabergé et orneront les couvercles de coffrets et autres objets recouverts d’émaux cloisonnés, à l’instar de notre ravissante boîte dont la forme octogonale et le sujet sont totalement inédits. Карл ФАБЕРЖЕ (1846-1920). Восьмигранная декоративная коробочка в 88 золотниках, покрытая полихромной перегородчатой эмалью и украшенная геометрическим орнаментом в неорусском стиле. Откидывающаяся на петлях крышка коробочки украшена орнаментом и сценой по произведению Сергея Сергеевича Соломко (1867-1928) «Писец», 1910 года. Очень хорошее состояние. Москва, 1910-1917 гг. Ювелир: Федор РЮКЕРТ для Карла ФАБЕРЖЕ. Выгравированный инвентарный номер Дома Фаберже: 26468. Вес брутто: 162,40 г. 9 х 11,5 х 7 см. Происхождение Частная коллекция, Париж.

Сергей Сергеевич Соломко (1867-1928) Один из лучших акварелистов и иллюстраторов конца XIX века, Сергей Сергеевич Соломко приобрел славу, в основном благодаря открыткам, изданным сообществом Сент-Эжени, а также газетам периода «Нива» или « Le Soleil de Russie », которую он иллюстрировал вместе с Элизабет Бём (1843-1914). Вместе они эволюционируют эту новую область изящных искусств и, таким образом, противопоставляют свое искусство произведениям своих современников. Соломко любит изображать роскошь России прошедших времен, используя для этого символистский стиль. Эти очаровательные сцены будут высоко оценены Домом Фаберже и украсят многочисленные предметы ювелирного искусства с использованием перегородчатой эмали, такие как наша прекрасная коробочка.
