EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Study of Wild Strawberries" by renowned artist Carl Faberge. Created in St. Petersburg around 1900, this masterpiece is a testament to Faberge's exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. The artwork features a delicate arrangement of gold-mounted enamel, nephrite, and rock crystal elements. Standing at a height of 10.2 cm, it portrays a cylindrical rock crystal vase with an everted rim. From this vase emerges a meticulously textured gold stem adorned with two nephrite leaves. At the end of the stem, five beautifully painted enamel strawberries catch the viewer's eye. Each strawberry is accompanied by a seed-pearl and diamond-set flower set amidst green enamelled sepals. The combination of these precious materials creates an enchanting display that captures both nature's beauty and artistic brilliance. Although seemingly unmarked, this piece bears scratched inventory number 10061 as evidence of its historical significance. It belongs to a private collection but has been immortalized through this stunning photograph captured by Christie's Images. This photograph not only highlights the intricate details and vibrant colors present in Faberge's work but also provides insight into early twentieth-century art movements and decorative arts practices in Russia. It serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy left behind by artists like Carl Faberge who continue to inspire generations with their extraordinary creations.
