This silver frame is the first Fabergé object acquired by Lillian Pratt. The crowned signatures (in Russian Cyrillic letters) of those pictured, Tsar Nicholas II’s aunt and uncle, appear to the sides of this original photograph. The frame’s top edge is surmounted by a crowned enamel coat of arms of the city of Moscow. The dates (1891–1904) engraved below the photograph refer to the fourteenth anniversary of Sergei’s governorship of Moscow.
The staunchly conservative Grand Duke Sergei was assassinated by a revolutionist in 1905. After his death, Elizabeth Feodorovna took holy vows and founded a convent dedicated to helping Moscow’s poor and needy. The grand duchess, who was also the sister of the tsar’s wife, was executed by the Bolsheviks in 1918 on the same day that the imperial family suffered a similar fate.

This star-shaped frame was purchased by Tsar Nicholas II and his wife, Empress Alexandra Feodorovna, in 1896. It was among their personal possessions at their death. After the execution of the imperial family in 1918, the commandant of the Soviet soldiers who had guarded them in Ekaterinburg created an inventory of their belongings. In this document, the frame is described as “gold frame, star-shaped with white and yellow enamel.” The frame was made while Mikhail Perkhin was the chief supervisor, or workmaster, of Fabergé’s many specialized workshops. Under Perkhin’s direction, the firm created snuffboxes, cigarette cases, fans, card cases, parasol and cane handles, picture frames, and countless other small decorative objects, often in lush enamel colors.
