A bold Fox & Chave silk tie with a design after a gold, enamel and diamond encrusted cigarette case by Peter Carl Fabergé, jeweller to the Russian Tsars. This particular cigarette case was created c.1910 at the zenith of La Belle Époque.

Peter Carl Fabergé (1846-1920) was renowned for his exquisite and ornate Fabergé eggs, created for the Russian imperial family. His meticulous craftsmanship and innovative techniques elevated him to international fame, epitomising luxury and opulence. The cigarette case from which the design for this silk tie is derived, displays one of many opulent designs applied to utilitarian objects popular at the time and very much aimed at elite members of society.
