Included in our November Auction is lot 344, this Included in our November Auction is lot 344, this exquisitely decorated 19th century Russian enamel timepiece, by Mikhail Perkhin, standing at 12cm high. 

Michael Perkhin was a senior work master for Faberge, and, although his career only spanned 17 years (1886-1903), he played an instrumental role in the modernisation of Faberge. 

In 1888, Carl Faberge was looking to 'rebrand'. He wanted to showcase design and craftsmanship above material value. Perkhin was the perfect man to spearhead this new way forward. 

One of Perkhin’s most notable pieces, the Clover Leaf Imperial Easter Egg of 1902, can be found in the Kremlin Museum.

Lot 344 will be sold on Wednesday 26th November. Browse the fully illustrated catalogue via the link in our bio.
