Description
A modern enamelled gilt metal egg-shaped trinket box with a separate display stand, designed in the Russian imperial style. The exterior features a trellis or harlequin pattern composed of alternating red and cream enamel panels. The red sections are applied over a textured, engine-turned ground, and the intersections are accented with small faux-pearl cabochons. The hinged egg opens via a magnetic catch to reveal a pearlised cream-coloured interior. The object rests upon a three-legged gilt metal stand with scroll feet and blue rhinestone accents. No signatures, hallmarks, or maker’s marks are visible. A British fifty pence coin is included in the photographs for scale.
Height: Approximately 5.5 cm (including stand).
