Imperial presentation box
View through Europeana Collections
This box was one of the last imperial presentation boxes ever to have been given on behalf of the Tsar. It was made in Wigstrm's workshop, where it was completed on 30 September 1916. It is richly decorated in dark green guilloch enamel, the gold beneath the enamel engraved in a radiating sunburst design, edged with oyster-coloured enamel and richly set with ten brilliant-cut diamonds in circular mounts and two borders of rose-cut diamonds. In the centre of the lid is a miniature of Tsar Nicholas II by the court miniaturist Vassily Zuiev; the radiating guilloch enamel emanating from the miniature emphasises the status and power of the Tsar. Nicholas II wears the uniform of the 4th Imperial Family Rifle Guards and the Order of St George, which he received on 25 October 1915.
