1364, Jan. 1, 1937

Transcription: [double-headed eagle] The Schaffer Collection of Russian Imperial Art Treasures Rockefeller Center, New York January 1, 1937 #1364 An exceptionally choice fantaisie by “Carl G. Fabergé”, the celebrated Russian court jeweler. Signed and in the original case, this unique tray of gold gilt silver is mounted with a stand to which is attached an ivory swing on which perches a paraquet [sic] cut directly out of a rare brilliantly colored agate, the natural markings of which delineate the feathers in the minutest detail. Emeralds are set in for the eyes and the whole presents an astonishingly life-like aspect. On either side of the swing tiny containers hold the golden kernels of birdseed.
