Faberge “Two Fantasy Blossoms” brooch

Description

Size: 1.5″ x 1.25

The blossoms of this graceful brooch are a product of Faberge’s imagination, borrowing elements of several Spring flowers and melding them into an attractive blossom. Flowers were important in traditional Russia since they symbolized the return of Spring and the reawakening of the earth after the deep Russian winter.
