Est. $42,000-$45,000 Karl Faberge Large Jasper "Rhino" Figurine W/?84? Silver Horns & Set Genuine Ruby Eyes - This piece was made by Karl Faberge himself, and is of the rarest collectible quality, as this is the only one ever known to exist. We have only seen two other pieces made of jasper. The piece has a gorgeous play of natural color throughout the piece. The natural veins of the jasper are used to create details on the piece, making it of the highest quality of works. This piece is 100% hand-made. The piece is then finished with stunning, genuine ruby eyes that are set in solid "84" Silver (Russian standard for Silver pre-revolution). You will never see another piece like this, as it is a one of a kind piece. The piece is marked "KF" & ?BA?. It is also marked ?1917?. Measures: 217mm L x 102mm H x 73mm W. This is one of the largest Faberge pieces we have seen, as we have only seen five other pieces this size.
