This Frame is named after a celebrated
courtesan of the period, a young woman who
enjoyed the attentions of many members of the
Russian court, some of whom gifted her with
baubles from the House of Fabergé. In
her collection: an oval frame of yellow enamel
guilloché with
an outer border of forest green and capped
by a ribbon bow with streamers of roses and
swags of laurel leaves, all in relief, winding
around the outer edge of the frame. The inner
oval of the frame is finished with a stationery
gold chain that is so fine that it can only
be seen to be a chain using a magnifying glass.
The handsome gold plated stand and a wooden
back complete the piece. The photograph, of
course, is of the lady Cleo wearing a diaphanous
gown.
