Presented by Nicholas II to his
wife, Tsarina Alexandra Fedorovna on the first
Easter following their Coronation in 1897.
The Egg celebrates the coronation, inspired
by the colorful ceremony and the gold robes
worn by the Empress. The enamel guilloché Egg
is
overlaid with a chased gold trellis punctuated
at each intersection with a minute replica
of the double headed Romanov Eagle insignia,
set with an Austrian crystal.
Inside, the replica of the Coronation Coach.
It is 5/8ths of an inch wide. The detail
on it is exactly copied from the original.
How they did it in this minute replica
is a marvel of craftsmanship. All metal
used is gold plated sterling silver. This
Egg has a bale for wearing.
Retail: $500.00. Our price: $449.90.
