Transcription: [double-headed eagle] The Schaffer Collection of Russian Imperial Art Treasures ROCKEFELLER CENTER NEW YORK #2419 Rectangular gold gilt silver frame by CARL G. FABERGE, the celebrated Russian Court jeweler. The opening for the picture is large and square and the border rather narrow, which gives a most unusual effect. The border, is enameled over a chased "guilloché" surface in a rich translucent red, over which is appliqued formal scrollwork in gold gilt silver. Pilasters enameled in fine shades of green and white complete the decoration, and blend beautifully with the entire composition. The back is paneled with hollywood.
