EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a rare glimpse of a Miniature Hippopotamus, created by the renowned Faberge Workshop in Saint Petersburg around 1890/00. The exquisite craftsmanship of this miniature sculpture is evident in every detail, showcasing the mastery of Carl Faberge and his team. The intricate piece is made from Kalgan jasper and adorned with a faceted ruby, adding a touch of elegance to its already enchanting presence. This unique creation reflects the rich heritage of European applied arts during the 19th century. Displayed proudly at an art gallery in Chicago's prestigious Art Institute, this Miniature Hippopotamus stands as a testament to Faberge's exceptional talent as both a jeweler and sculptor.
