專家說明
The scratched inventory number on this icon is recorded in the 1919 stock ledgers of the Fabergé shop, conducted by the Bolsheviks after its closure. The Soviet government, which was in urgent need of foreign currency, sold a large number of confiscated Fabergé items to foreign buyers in the 1920s. Armand Hammer was one of the main American buyers at the time, who played an important role in establishing the Fabergé market in the United States.
