EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a table box adorned with an exquisitely painted cartouche, depicting the significant moment of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich choosing his bride. Created by the renowned artist Carl Faberge between 1908 and 1917, this silver-gilt and cloisonné enamel masterpiece measures 8.9 cm in width. The intricate decorative technique employed in this piece is truly remarkable. Set against a striking black background, the vibrant colors of the enamel come to life, adding depth and richness to the scene. The ornate frame surrounding the cartouche further enhances its regal allure. In this close-up shot, we are transported back to early twentieth-century Russia, where royalty reigned supreme. With no people present in the image, all attention is focused on Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich as he makes his historic decision. The gilded details and meticulous craftsmanship reflect both imperial grandeur and olden times. This single object captures a pivotal moment in history when choices were made that would shape dynasties and nations. It serves as a testament to Faberge's mastery as an artist and his ability to immortalize important events through his creations. Now part of a private collection, this stunning table box offers us a glimpse into Russian history while showcasing Faberge's talent for blending beauty with functionality. Its presence evokes awe-inspiring admiration for both its historical significance and artistic brilliance.
