Imperial Framed Miniatures, 1896. Johannes Zehngraf (Russian, 1857-1908), Mikhail Evlampievich Perkhin (Russian, 1860-1903), House of Fabergé (Russian, 1842-1918). Jade, gold, rubies, gouache, ivory, glass; overall: 15.3 x 5 x 5 cm (6 x 1 15/16 x 1 15/16 in.). The giving of miniatures had long been a common practice among wealthy and aristocratic families by the time Fabergé began combining portraits with his richly decorated frames. The Russian imperial family delighted in having these personal mementos and commissioned many different miniatures to place around their private apartments, providing a warm family atmosphere in an otherwise highly formal existence.
