Buddleia Egg

Two men in formal attire are sitting at a table, looking at and discussing colorful artwork or cards. One man is holding glasses and a pin, while the other is writing or drawing. There is a decorative egg-shaped ornament on the table, and a large potted plant and artwork hanging on the wall behind them.

The tranquillity on a lazy summer's day in an English country garden, with the scent of flowers, has been the inspiration for this creation.

The hand painted crystal Egg, surmounted with the Imperial crown with a cabochon ruby, encloses the three colourful enamelled butterflies dancing to the sound of Tchaikovski's Waltz of the Flowers.

The vermeil base of ornamental grass design and panelling of bubinga wood are detailed with the double headed eagle of, both conceal the musical box, hidden within.

The butterflies attracted to Buddleia, also known as the butterfly bush, dance to the beauty of nature that surrounds them.
