Description
This plate was on display at the Houston Museum of Natural Science as part of the Faberg�:Imperial Jeweler to the Tsars showcases from the McFerrin Collection. This collection has some of the most beautiful hand crafted works of art that have come out of the Faberge' Jeweler's workshops. Faberge was commissioned by Czar Alexander III and his son Czar Nicholas II. Some of these items were stashed in a safe during the Bolshevik Revolution and were not discovered until last year in Sweden. These prices survivors were used as gifts by the Imperial Family of Russia. They would pack up their valuable Faberge' works of art and travel distributing them as they visited other places.
