| Reverse description | The reverse presents a full-color depiction of the Imperial Fabergé Colonnade Egg of 1910, rendered with exceptional chromatic and textural detail against a silver-toned engraved background of acanthus scrollwork. The egg is shown in pale pink enamel mounted on a tiered neoclassical base with marble-effect columns, gilded floral swags, and a plinth decorated with panels bearing the numerals '1 8 9 0', referencing the year of the Romanov dynasty. A gilded cherub figure surmounts the apex of the egg, modeled in the round with fine sculptural precision. The arched legend 'Imperial Fabergé Eggs' is inscribed along the upper rim in serif lettering. The overall composition evokes the opulent craftsmanship of the House of Fabergé and the Romanov Imperial court. |
