About the Item

We present to your attention a unique and extraordinary piece from our collection — a jade egg pendant featuring a silver bulldog figurine with ruby eyes, created during the Faberge era. The pendant is made of natural jade, while the bulldog figurine is crafted from blackened silver. Its eyes feature natural faceted tiny rubies. Animal figurines crafted during the Fabergé era were immensely popular among buyers of that era. With great dedication, the masters created miniature representations of beloved pets, especially dogs! These exquisite works of art were collected and exchanged as gifts among members of the imperial family. An interesting fact: among the personal belongings of Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna, which were transported to Moscow by the Provisional Government, there were about a hundred figurines by her beloved Fabergé. A special place in her collection was occupied by elephants—the heraldic symbol of her native Denmark—and dogs (bulldogs and pugs). Perhaps this was due to the fact that her husband, Emperor Alexander III, was affectionately called "bulldog" within his family during childhood. 😊 Fabergé era figurines are distinguished by their exquisite detail, and each feature is rendered with masterful accuracy. While silver animal models existed before the Fabergé Era, its works became a symbol of refined realism and unparalleled quality. The figurine bears original hallmarks: "α" (alpha) — indicating inspection by the St. Petersburg Assay Office, which was active from 1908 to 1917. The woman's head in a kokoshnik, facing right. "84" — the Imperial silver standard. Pendant dimensions: Length: 28.3 mm Weight: 10.5 grams. This pendant is in excellent condition! An exceptional item! 1.

Note : The second egg will not be included > Most of the items that we sell are not new at all if not stated otherwise. Accordingly, most of the items most often show some signs of use. We do our best to photograph and describe condition as accurately as possible if we notice something. There is no point in hiding anything or lying about the condition of used items that are at least several decades old.. Also presume that sometimes metal parts, stones or enamels ,etc. may show minor scratches, chips, micro-dents, minor deformations and other signs of wear and aging that we could miss to notice in description, unintentionally. . If there are questions about an item, please email me before you buy it. I will note in the description any anomalies but also provide visual aid concerning condition though photographs, and these should be considered part of the description. Most images of items listed were taken under natural light at daytime. We use modern high quality digital cameras and additional photo equipment for image processing. We upload high quality images that allow to see well the shapes, colors and flaws of very small stones . So look carefully before you buy anything. In reality some colors of materials involved may look a bit differently depending on light conditions, settings and functionality of your monitor and my camera. Your personal perception of colors and physiological conditions of your eyes may also affect the vision of the items. Gemstones may often look differently in different light and weather conditions and time of the day, both indoors and outdoors. Stones of the rings photographed alone may look a bit differently when on hand because your finger makes the back side of the stone closed and light no longer can go through and the color becomes different. Stones with closed backs may seem darker than stones with open backs. Such nuances of color perception do not give any excuse to claim item to be not as described. Some buyers tried to make return...
