Fabergé Angel Fish Figurine – A Symbol of Fortune and Elegance
Like a shimmering dream captured in stone, this exquisite Fabergé sculpture depicts a delicate angel fish, masterfully carved from luminous agate. Its eyes, set with fiery ruby inlays, seem almost alive, whispering tales of mystery and fortune. Resting gracefully on a polished jade platform—symbolizing harmony and prosperity—it is elegantly cradled by a gilt sterling silver base. The underside bears the prestigious markings "FABERGÉ" and "925", a testament to its timeless artistry.
The last photograph features a pair of angelfish created in St. Petersburg between 1908 and 1917 by the Fabergé master Feodor Afanassiev.
Notably, one of the identical fish was sold at a prominent auction in 2022 for over $20,000.
