Creations Theo Faberge - Theo - Faberge - Eggs - St. Petersburg Collection - Faberge Descendants - Objet d'art - Faberge History
Theo Fabergé hand-turned the shell of an Australian Banksia Nut, characterized by its fascinating natural piercing and rich coloring, to explore further his celebration of the senses.
Lacquered and adorned with 24-karat gilded bezels, the Egg is surmounted by a finial set with a cabochon ruby. The foot is ornamentally turned on Theo's Holtzapffel lathe dating from 1861.
On opening the egg, the surprise is revealed as a sachet holder, containing and releasing the fragrance Special No. 127. This lovely fragrance is from J. Floris of London, who designed it in 1890 for the Russian Grand Duke Orloff.
