Transcription: [double-headed eagle] The Schaffer Collection of Russian Imperial Art Treasures ROCKEFELLER CENTER, NEW YORK May 20, 1936 #535 duplicate A very fine solid gold parasol handle of elongated pear shape, enameled in a most unusual shade of pink over a chased surface which imparts a scintillating tint of lavender. A gold band dividing the enameled area into panels is chased with a wreath design of green gold, punctuated with tiny rosettes in red gold. In the top a diamond is inset, and about the rim a lapis blue band is enameled. Made by "Carl Fabergé", the celebrated Russian Court jeweler who is today so often referred to as the "Cellini of the nineteenth century." From the collection of the Czarina Alexandra Feodorovna, wife of Nicholas II, the late Czar of Russia.
