Transcription: [double-headed eagle] The Schaffer Collection of Russian Imperial Art Treasures ROCKEFELLER CENTER, NEW YORK OCTOBER 29, 1936 #480 Beautiful handle perfectly illustrating the artistry of "Carl Fabergé". This handle, a combination of a well-cut and polished piece of milky-green nephrite, is set off by the complementary shade of orange in its gold and enameled mounting. This mounting, connecting the handle proper with the main body of the cane, is wrought with great delicacy and refinement. Against a curved surface of white matte enamel, minutely striped with gold, there are superimposed two crossed ribbons chased of greenish-gold and enameled with translucent orange. Above and below there is a tiny row of diamonds effectively set in quite another shade of gold. Originally in the collection of Czarina Alexandra Feodorovna, wife of Nicholas II, the late Czar of Russia.
