Rose Trellis Egg Music Box

Adapted from one of The Walters Art Museum’s most popular objects! The original egg was commissioned from the house of Faberge by Tsar Nicholas II in 1907 for his wife, Alexandra Feodorovna, to celebrate the birth of their son Alexei Nikolaievich. The Rose Trellis egg contained, as a surprise, a diamond necklace and an ivory miniature portrait of the tsarevich framed in diamonds (now lost). This unique reproduction contains a felt covered music box that plays a tune from the play Swan Lake and comes with matching stand. The egg with stand measures approximately 2 ¼ x 4 ¼ inches in size.
