NEPHRITE, ENAMEL AND SILVER MONKEY CANE HANDLE HOUSE OF FABERGÉ, JULIUS RAPPOPORT, ST PETERSBURG, 1899–1904

A rare angular cane handle, created in St Petersburg between 1899 and 1904 in the workshop of the Imperial Court supplier, the House of Fabergé. The piece was crafted by one of the firm’s leading masters — Julius Rappoport, renowned for his virtuosity in silver casting and chasing.The handle is made of deep green nephrite and adorned with a sculpted and chased silver monkey figure embracing the stone. The sculptural composition is highly detailed: the fur is rendered with expressive plasticity, and the facial features are vivid and naturalistic. The eyes are set with cabochon-cut rubies.The lower section is decorated with guilloché red enamel over silver, bordered by chased laurel leaves. A concealed screw mechanism allows secure attachment to the cane. Its angular form is characteristic of early 20th-century luxury accessories. Marks: K. Fabergé beneath the Imperial warrant, Latin initials I.P. (for Julius Rappoport), 88 silver standard, St Petersburg assay mark (1899–1904)Dimensions: Height — 9.5 cm; Length — 8.2 cm Provenance: Private European collection
