Lilies of the Valley Egg, 1898

Lilies of the Valley Egg


Height: 5-5/16 inches, 7-7/8 inches when open

Markings: MP (Michael Perchin), crossed anchors, 56

Date: 1898

One of only two eggs executed in the Art Nouveau style, this golden egg is covered by a multitude of pearls and is covered with pale pink enamel. The eggs is supported by cabriole legs of matte green-gold leaves with rose diamond dewdrops. The gold-stemmed lilies of the valley have green enamelled leaves and pearl flowers. The egg is surmounted by an Imperial crown of rose diamonds and cabachon rubies. A pearl knob, when twisted, reveals the surprise of this egg: portrait minatures of Czar Nicholas II and his two oldest daughters: Olga and Tatiana. The portraits are raised by a geared mechanism inside the egg and causes the portraits to spread fan-like once they have emerged from the egg. The portraits are framed in rose diamonds and backed with gold panels engraved with the presentation date: April 5, 1898.
