[2] The Fabergé egg was made for Alexander Kelch, who presented it to his wife, Barbara (Varvara) Kelch-Bazanova.

[2] The egg was created by Peter Carl Faberge's workmaster, Michael Perkhin (Russian, 1860–1903) and is crafted of yellow gold, rose-cut diamonds, portrait diamonds, translucent pink en green enamel and opaque white enamel.

The upper and lower sections of the Egg are each divided into six panels by bands of matt-finished gold, overlaid with rows of pink enamel roses with gold stems and translucent green leaves.

[2] This is the only Kelch Egg that was not part of the lot bought by the Paris jeweller Morgan.

The Egg was purchased sometime in the 1920s and bought by A La Vieille Russie in Paris, likely from Barbara Kelch.
