Continental, 20th Century

Inspired by the artistry of Fabergé, this exquisite floral objet d’art reflects the craftsmanship of the esteemed Russian firm, celebrated for its exceptional jewellery and luxurious decorative pieces. Under the leadership of Peter Carl Fabergé (1846–1920), the workshop gained international renown, with its masterpieces treasured by royalty and collectors alike.
This finely crafted piece features a slender silver-gilt stem rising elegantly from a smooth rock crystal base. The stem is adorned with naturalistic nephrite leaves, their rich green hues and organic speckling enhancing the lifelike quality of the design. Atop the stem, an enchanting bouquet of glass bluets adds a rare and striking touch, as this colour is an unusual choice for floral objets d’art. Symbolising love and happiness, the bluet flower’s delicate blue tones evoke serenity and charm. Silver-gilt accents on the sepal and stigma further elevate the composition, adding a warm contrast to the vibrant blossoms.
A testament to exceptional artistry, this captivating floral model is a refined and collectible addition to any collection.
