Faberge Imperial Pendant: Grand Duke Vladimir & Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna

Faberge Diamond and Platinum Pendant

 I recently found online an US based jewellery dealer that has for sale a beautiful Faberge diamond and platinum Imperial presentation pendant, in the form of a crowned heart, featuring the portraits of Grand Duke Vladimir and his wife Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna. The item was made on the occasion of their 30th year marriage anniversary in 1904. (Width: 2.5 cm) Provenance: Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna, one of Fabergé’s best-known collectors; Grand Duchess Elena Vladimirovna (future Princess Nicholas of Greece), her daughter.
