Let us introduce another exquisite piece from our beloved collection — a stone figurine by the renowned Carl Fabergé firm. This delightful duckling is carved from genuine Russian nephrite, featuring garnet eyes framed in gold. The duckling’s feet are made of imperial Russian silver of 88 standard.
Both feet bear hallmarks: on the right foot, the Cyrillic initials "КФ" (Carl Fabergé), a kokoshnik head, and the 88 silver standard; the left foot carries the same markings, including the master’s initials "КФ" and identical quality stamps.
This figurine enchants with its charm, exceptional detailing, and substantial weight. Approximate dimensions:
Height: 66.3 mm
Length: 70 mm
Weight: 135 grams
Unfortunately, the original box is not included, as it was likely lost long ago.
A true treasure for collectors and admirers of Fabergé craftsmanship!
I would like to share with you an interesting piece of information: a similar figurine of a duckling made of gold-mounted chalcedony, with rose-cut diamond set eyes and gold feet in the original fitted case, was sold at one of the well-known auctions. It was valued at £20,000-£30,000.
Our figurine is not decorated with precious stones and does not have gold feet, and the only golden detail is the frame of her eyes, it is made of Russian jade, and the shape and craftsmanship are the same. We do not set a high price or sought profit, this figurine is part of our personal collection, which we collected with love and carefully preserved for many years. Now that it has become part of our history, we want to share it with you, believing that it will bring a little joy and inspiration, as it brought them to us.
