Sarah Fabergé, great-granddaughter of Russian Imperial Jeweller Carl Fabergé, has created the WINNERS EGG in celebration of the unique joy experienced by the connections of every winner and his horse, and in support of the welfare of racing’s people.
The WINNERS EGG is hand crafted using techniques perfected over hundreds of years. The Egg is mouth-blown in emerald-coloured fine lead crystal, and hand enamelled using 23-carat gold. The fluted pedestal is hand-etched in a theme of horseshoes, amid the decorative swags so strongly associated with the Fabergé family. The Egg itself is richly decorated, to the lower half with stirrup motifs carved and high-fired in gold, and above with golden trellis-work and winners’ wreathes; the finial is a jockey’s cap modelled in gold and silver. Four clear doublé crystal panels allow the eye a glimpse of the delight, which lies within the Egg.
In the tradition of the Fabergé family, on opening the WINNERS EGG the surprise is revealed. The horse is led towards the winners’ enclosure by the proud groom. Hand-crafted in 24-carat gold and sterling silver, the horse is inspired by Lord Derby’s outstanding filly, Ouija Board* .
The WINNERS EGG is also available by private commission, in the racing colours of your choice. Proceeds from the Egg contribute to Racing Welfare who commissioned this creation from the St Petersburg Collection by Sarah Fabergé.
The price of each Racing Welfare Winners Egg by Sarah Fabergé is £10,000 inclusive of vat.
