Celebration Egg
Hover to zoom into creation.
To celebrate Theo Fabergé’s eightieth birthday, he created a cobalt blue guilloché enamel egg in his grandfather’s style. The egg is adorned with both the double-headed eagle and the Royal English Lion and Unicorn.
The Egg is surmounted with the Imperial Crown in vermeil set with a cabochon sapphire. The base bears Theo’s own interpretation of the famous Fabergé swags, and the foot is ornamentally turned on his Holtzapffel lathe dating from 1861.
Inside the Egg, the surprise: the Royal English Coronation coach in celebration of the Golden Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II.
Theo Fabergé’s Eightieth Celebration Egg bears his personal mark, specially adapted for this auspicious occasion.
