Lovely 1900 Karl FABERGE 14K Gold Ruby Chicken Basket Easter Egg Charm Pendant
Imperial Russian Circa 1900 Karl FABERGE 14K Gold Ruby eYes Crystal Quartz Chicken Basket Easter Egg Charm Pendant?? Fully hallmarked 56 Zolotnik for 14K gold, and followed by Karl Faberge's own marks K? Which means he personally created this little cutie! Now how cool is that?
Are that of Ivana Sergeevicha Lebedkina who assayed in Saint Peters burg from 1899 to 1908. Weighs approximately 7.2 grams. Approximately 2.85 cm (1 2/16 inches) in height including the attachment loop but excluding the bale. The basket is approximately 1.42 cm (8.5/16 inches) in diameter with the handles being approximately 1.45 cm (9/16 of an inch) in width at the widest sides. I have seen another but its less detailed and the hallmarks are in the front which makes me believe its a copy, the hallmarks on this rare jewel are in the reverse side which would be logical for an original, and the details are immaculate.
I took as many detailed photos as possible and as detailed as possible for the images tell the story of this museum quality Imperial Russian jewel! The chicken has two beautiful placed tiny cabochon ruby eYes and the chicken itself is composed of clear crystal quartz.
The intricate beautiful egg shaped basket is composed of 14K gold. What an incredible theme of a chicken in a basket Easter egg charm, Karl Faberge had a beautiful mind which is why he created such a beautiful company for the most beautiful royal family in history, the Imperial Russian Royal Family, the ROMANOVS!
