Description:

This set of collectible phone cards showcases exquisite photographic images of three renowned Fabergé eggs: the Chanticleer Egg, the Cuckoo Egg, and the Orange Tree Egg. Each card features a masterful representation of these legendary creations by jeweler Peter Carl Fabergé, celebrated for his exceptional craftsmanship for the Russian czars, especially Nicholas II. The cards capture the intricate artistry, with each egg displayed on a finely crafted pedestal adorned with precious materials. The printed price on each card is $20, reflecting their collectible value. Above each egg, its name is elegantly inscribed, honoring Fabergé’s artistry.

The first card highlights the Chanticleer Egg, a stunning piece characterized by its rich blue enamel surface, likely cloisonné, which shimmers with a deep, lustrous quality. Gold accents enhance the ornate design, creating a captivating interplay of colors and textures. A delicate clock face is embedded within the egg, surrounded by a golden chain or garland motif. Sitting atop this regal creation is a mechanical rooster, poised as if about to crow—symbolizing the famous mechanical birds often featured in Fabergé’s work. The base displays detailed craftsmanship with intricate relief work in gold, evoking the opulence of the Forbes Imperial Egg Collection.

The second phone card features the Cuckoo Egg, a darker, more mysterious Fabergé masterpiece with an egg in deep purple or aubergine enamel hues. The golden stand and frame supporting the embedded clock are decorated with elegant garlands and ornamental filigree, emphasizing the luxurious use of gold and pearls. The intricate design hints at the mechanical cuckoo inside—a charming and delicate innovation requiring extraordinary artistry. This egg reflects not only the splendor of the Russian imperial court but also the inventive spirit of Fabergé’s workshop, blending precious stones, enameling, and mechanical ingenuity.

The final card in the set depicts the Orange Tree Egg, which stands out in both form and detail. Fabergé’s use of nephrite (a type of jade) is striking here, with intricate leaves and blossoms crafted in green enamel and precious materials to resemble a miniature orange tree. The egg’s uneven surface mimics the natural curvature of a botanical specimen, mounted on a square base with gold latticework and delicate green and pink accents, likely using gemstones such as rubies and pearls. The open lid reveals a subtle, hidden surprise, a hallmark of Fabergé eggs. This piece exemplifies Fabergé’s unparalleled artistry in merging natural motifs with luxurious materials, creating a living symbol of wealth, nature, and imperial prestige. Overall, these phone cards celebrate both Fabergé’s artistic mastery and the rich cultural significance of these legendary Easter eggs.
