by Fabergé

Moscow, 1899-1903 struck with maker’s mark: Fabergé in Cyrillic beneath Imperial Warrant, assay master’s mark (I.L. for Ivan Lebedkin), silver mark of 84 zolotniks height: 12 cm

Silver bell push whimsically sculpted as a boar seated on hind legs with its curled tail above bell-pull string, finely chased to simulate fur, the nose set with a cabochon garnet pushpiece.

A similar pig bell push also made in Rappoport’s workshop is illustrated in Sotheby’s New York, 6 December 1995, lot 398. For another smaller one see Sotheby’s Geneva November 15, 1988 catalogue, lot 168.
