Description:

This collectible set of phone cards features twelve exquisite Fabergé Eggs, each meticulously crafted by the renowned jeweler Peter Carl Fabergé. These masterpieces symbolize the lavish artistry of the Russian Imperial era. Each card carries a $20 valuation and showcases a stunning, detailed image of one of these opulent eggs, highlighting Fabergé’s masterful use of gold, enamel, and precious gemstones. Originally created for Russian Czars Alexander III and Nicholas II, these eggs exemplify the grandeur of the Romanov dynasty and are among the most prestigious works of decorative art in the Forbes Imperial Egg Collection.

The Chanticleer Egg stands out with its gilded pedestal, vibrant royal blue enamel, and intricate gold leaf garlands. It features a mechanical cockerel that famously crows on the hour—a remarkable blend of craftsmanship and whimsical design. Similarly, the Coronation Egg exudes magnificence with its radiant yellow enamel patterned like a royal quilt, complemented by a miniature gold carriage symbolizing imperial celebration. The Cross of St. George Egg showcases delicate blue and white enamel latticework, a bowkite bow motif, and a miniature portrait of Czar Nicholas II, emphasizing the historical and familial significance of these treasures.

Other eggs, such as the Cuckoo Egg and the 15th Anniversary Egg, demonstrate remarkable creativity with their ornamental clocks and framed painted scenes. The First Imperial Egg uniquely opens to reveal a tiny golden hen, symbolizing new life and rebirth. The Lilies of the Valley Egg delicately combine pearls and miniature portraits framed by a crown, creating an exquisite union of personal and floral motifs. The Orange Tree Egg, lush with carved leaves and blossoms, rests on a black and white pedestal intertwined with tiny, sparkling gems that enhance its naturalistic appeal, blending chalcedony and exquisite gilding.

The Renaissance Egg and the Resurrection Egg introduce religious and cultural themes through enamel and diamond embellishments, portraying intricate motifs and figurines that highlight Fabergé’s versatility across spiritual and artistic expressions. The Rosebud Egg, opened to reveal a vibrant yellow flower-like interior, and the Spring Flowers Egg, decorated with a bouquet of delicate porcelain blossoms atop a fine enamel base, showcase the jeweler’s meticulous attention to botanical detail. Together, this complete set represents an unparalleled array of decorative mastery and serves as a celebrated homage to a unique imperial gift-giving tradition that combined artistry, history, and opulence.
