Small round gold picture frame of more than ordinary beauty and quality by “Carl Fabergé”, celebrated court jeweler to the Russian Imperial family.
The ground of this piece chased with a shimmering pattern, is enameled translucent white and bordered with a minutely detailed wreath design in green gold on the outside. The inside is bordered with pearls while the enameled surface is painted with conventionalized trees.
The back is of ivory, and it contains a photograph of Czarevitch Alexei Nicholaievitch, son and heir apparent of Nicholas II, the late Czar of Russia.
From the Alexander Palace at Tsarskoye Selo.
