workmaster Mikhail Perkhin, St Petersburg, circa 1895 struck with workmaster’s initials and Fabergé in Cyrillic, French import marks, silver mark of 88 zolotniks height: 24 cm
Large and very rare Fabergé nephrite desk clock in neo-rococo style with movement by H. Moser & Cie. An asymmetrically cut translucent nephrite panel is set within a silver rocaille border and centred by a black and white enamel dial with black Roman numerals and openwork gold hands. The dial is surrounded by an opulent Louis XV-style silver mount cast and chased with scrolls and flowers. The top of the composition portrays an amorous couple: a young musician entertaining a lady with a lap dog. The piece is supported on a scrolled silver strut and comes with a fitted leather case.
