Diamond Trellis (Fabergé egg)

The Diamond Trellis egg is a jewelled enamelled Easter egg made by August Holmström under the supervision of the Russian jeweller Peter Carl Fabergé in 1892. It is one of the Imperial Fabergé eggs, made for Alexander III of Russia, who presented it to his wife, the Empress Maria Feodorovna. The egg is owned by Dorothy McFerrin, as part of the collection acquired by her and her husband, Artie McFerrin, who died on August 8, 2017, and is on display at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. The egg cost 4,750 silver roubles, and contained an automaton of an ivory elephant covered with precious stones. The surprise, thought missing for many years, was identified in 2015 in the collection of the British Royal Family.
