PROVENANCE
Sotheby's New York, 6 December 1995, lot 443
A similar design for a pendant with a red and white pennant superimposed with the monogram MF crowned by the Imperial eagle was approved in 1906 to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Dowager Empress as patron of the cavalry guard regiment. For an example realised by Thielemann for Fabergé, now in The State Hermitage Museum, St Petersburg, (IO-3049), see an image reproduced in Habsburg and Lopato, Fabergé: Imperial Jeweler, no. 134, p. 273.
