Lillies-of-the-Valley
Egg (1898)
This egg is one of
three done in the Art Nouveau style. Against a rich pink enamel, the egg
is covered with lillies-of the-valley formed of pearls and rose-cut diamonds
on thin golden stalks, with green enamalled leaves. The egg was given
by Czar Nicholas II to his wife on Alexandra in 1898

TBI's carefully
designed, top quality tin egg is inspired by the priceless original
of Carl Fabergé. It measures 69mm wide by 110mm in length.
TBI's designers
have patterned the inside of the egg with an authentic velvety
red background and gold trellis overlay, in keeping with the originals,
but without attempting to reproduce their wonderful suprise interiors
