EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Alexander III 25th Anniversary Wedding Clock" created in 1891 by the renowned Russian jeweler, Carl Fabergé. Crafted from exquisite materials including silver, onyx, and diamonds, this ornate timepiece stands at an impressive height of 68.5 cm. Designed by workmaster Michael Perchin in St. Petersburg, this masterpiece features an original Swiss or French 8-day movement encased within a moulded green onyx rectangular base. The clock is engraved with Cyrillic script and adorned with intricate metalwork depicting symbols of royalty and marriage. As a symbol of enduring love and commitment, this wedding clock was commissioned to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Tsar Alexander III's marriage. Its elaborate design incorporates imperial crests, an eagle motif representing power and strength, as well as cherubs known as putti symbolizing love and innocence. Encrusted with precious stones such as diamonds, this objet de vertu exemplifies the opulence associated with the Russian imperial court during that era. This stunning piece serves not only as a functional timekeeping device but also as a testament to the grandeur and craftsmanship synonymous with Fabergé's creations. Now part of a private collection, this photograph captures every intricate detail of this symbolic wedding clock—a true treasure that transcends time itself.
