#1543 Miniature picture frame enameled in mauve, signed by CARL G. FABERGE, the Russian Court jeweler. It is designed in his French classical manner with a narrow mauve-enameled ground bordered by the motifs associated with this style. Around the beveled glass there is an edge of white matte enamel separated from the mauve surface by a tiny fluted border crossed with ribbons. An outer border of beadwork encloses the frame and over the enameled surface rosettes with short swags are mounted. Bears a hinged easel with the name "Victoria" lettered in openwork.
