Created after the original 1897 Coronation egg by Carl Faberge for the Russian Royal Family, hand-crafted pewter with gilt & a translucent yellow enamel on a guilloche field of starbursts, much like the cloth-of-gold robe worn by the Tsarina at her Coronation. Adorned with clear Austrian crystals & trellised with bands of greenish gold laurel leaves mounted at each intersection by a gold Imperial double-headed eagle painted opaque black. This pattern was also drawn from the Coronation robe worn by the Empress. The top  of the egg is detachable and has a magnetic closure to keep the box securely shut. Fitted inside is a precise replica, less than 3" L,  of the Eighteenth-century Imperial coach that carried Tsarina Alexandra to her coronation at Moscow's Uspensky Cathedral. The red color of the original coach was recreated using strawberry colored translucent enamel & the interior was also reproduced in enamels. The coach is surmounted by the Imperial Crown in a crystal. The miniature is complete with moving wheels & an opening roof. Comes with a gift box. 5" H egg. 7" H overall with on stand.  Â
