The Rose Trellis Egg - 1907
This Imperial Easter egg was designed by Peter Carl Fabergé for the last Romonov Tsar, Nicholas II of Russia's wife, Aleandra Fyodorovna.
The egg was handmade by the Fabergé workmaster, Herik Wigstrom, and is composed of gold, green, and pink enamel, diamond, and satin lining for the inside of the egg. The shell of the egg is painted with translucent pale green and latticed with rose-cut diamonds, making it look like a trellis. The shell is decorated by different shades of pionk enemel roses and green leaves. There is a diamond on the tip of the egg and the bottom.
The surprises were a diamond necklace and an ivory miniature portrait of the tsarevich which are now both lost.
The egg stands almost eight centimeters high.
