About the Item
A masterful example of Russian artistry, this captivating bulldog figurine is attributed to the renowned jeweler Carl Fabergé. Expertly carved from lustrous smoky quartz, the piece captures the noble character and lifelike detail of the beloved bulldog breed. Its expressive eyes are set with vibrant, cabochon emeralds, lending a striking contrast and a sense of soul to the sculpture.
This rare objet d'art reflects the elegance and precision synonymous with Fabergé's legacy. Likely crafted in the late 19th to early 20th century, it embodies the luxury and refinement of Imperial Russian craftsmanship.
Comparable Auction Sales Summary:
Similar Fabergé-attributed hardstone animal figures, particularly those depicting dogs and featuring inset gemstone eyes, have achieved notable results at major international auctions.
A Fabergé rock crystal bulldog with ruby eyes realized $65,000 at Sotheby’s in 2018, attributed to the Fabergé workshop and dating to the early 20th century.
Christie's sold a carved quartz terrier with sapphire eyes, attributed to Fabergé, for £48,000 in 2020, underscoring continued collector interest in fine hardstone animals.
Another example, a smoky quartz lap dog with emerald eyes, fetched €52,000 at a European auction house in 2019, praised for its craftsmanship and close stylistic alignment with known Fabergé models.
These auction results highlight the strong market demand for Fabergé and Fabergé-attributed hardstone animals, particularly when executed in fine materials with gemstone details and provenance.
