New Patriot Egg

Theo Fabergé’s New Patriot Egg celebrates a City and nation that triumph over the adversity of September 11, 2001.

The New Patriot Egg stands on a base of Nero Portoro Carrera marble. Hand-wrought and bronze, the pentagon and pedestal unite the new heroes of Ground Zero – the policeman, a construction worker, the New York fireman, an armed Special Forces combatant, and an Emergency Medical Services operative. Above them, one of the two New York cityscapes poignantly omits the Twin Towers.

From the city, the flames of the World Trade Centre are hand-raised and chased in 18-karat yellow gold and in red gold. The yellow gold Egg above is hand-engraved with the 50 stars of the United States, and the Eagle of Justice is sculpted in multi-coloured, solid gold, its eyes brilliant rubies.

Open the Egg and Ground Zero is portrayed, its wreckage relieved by a pristine American flag, hand-engraved and brightly polished - all in 18-karat white gold. Theo’s final surprise is the hand-carved model of the Tomb of the Unknowns, sculpted in statuary marble.

Theo Fabergé depicts Americans of the 21st Century, willing to pay the ultimate price to preserve the nation’s freedom and that of their fellow citizens. This remarkable objet d’art commemorates the world’s tribute to our New Patriots.
