Scent bottle pendant, aventurine quartz, gold, ruby, and diamond (ca. 1890) Michael Perchin (1860–1903), the renowned Fabergé workmaster, crafted this scent bottle from shimmering aventurine quartz and adorned it with gold laurel and diamonds.

Crafted for the Russian elite, it blends imperial craftsmanship skills with daily use. Women wore these bottles to keep perfume ready for reapplication or to revive themselves if a tight corset caused them to faint. Once part of the Jean Louis Chameroy collection, this piece mirrors those owned by Queen Alexandra. Perchin’s hallmark confirms it as an authentic 19th-century masterpiece. Loc. Private Collection (Sold by Woolley & Wallis, UK in 2023). Dim. 9.8 cm H (3 7/8 in.).

A fine and rare Fabergé gold and enamel miniature chair bonbonnière

Workmaster Michael Perchin 

St Petersburg 

1899-1903

This presently offered chair is based on the designs of Leo von Klenze (1784-1864), Bavarian court architect trained in Berlin and Paris. In 1839 von Klenze was commissioned by Tsar Nicholas I to build the New Hermitage in St. Petersburg and was also given the responsibility  for the design of the furnishings. He had earlier designed the furniture for a large part of the Royal residence in Munich.

Bomboniere (Italian bomboniera, from the french bonbonnière, a box containing "bonbons" (candies)) also known as "favors", are gifts given by hosts to their guests on special occasions such as weddings, baptism, First Communion or Confirmation. They usually include Jordan Almonds, known in Italian as Confetti. Five sugared almonds symbolize health, wealth, happiness, fertility and long life.
