Antique Imperial Faberge 18K Vermeil Silver & Malachite Easter Egg Pendant c1908

An exceptionally rare and highly collectible antique Imperial Fabergé pendant, dating to circa 1908, crafted in 18K vermeil gilt silver and mounted with a hand-carved malachite semi-precious hard stone Easter egg.

The egg is surmounted by a finely detailed Imperial Officer’s helmet, complete with a sculptural double-headed eagle finial, executed with remarkable depth and precision. The helmet retains its original gilt finish and is adorned with an applied Imperial emblem, demonstrating the unmistakable craftsmanship associated with Fabergé’s finest workshop output.

This remarkable jewel was produced by Fabergé workmaster Alfred Thielemann, one of the firm’s most respected and technically accomplished masters. The piece is hallmarked with Thielemann’s initials “AT” and the “84” silver standard, confirming period authenticity and quality.

The malachite egg is expertly carved, displaying rich natural banding and vibrant coloration, with no cracks or repairs. The pendant remains fully original and untouched, preserving its historical integrity.

Such pieces were created in extremely limited numbers and were never mass-produced, making this an outstanding opportunity for collectors of Imperial-era Fabergé jewelry, military-themed objets d’art, and museum-level decorative arts.
