Cameo Pendant with Portrait of Catherine the Great
Ekaterinburg Lapidary Factory, second half of the 18th century
Silver-gilt, cut topaz
An oval pendant set with a finely carved topaz cameo depicting the profile portrait of Empress Catherine II, mounted in a silver-gilt frame with suspension loop. The work is attributed to the Imperial Lapidary Factory in Ekaterinburg, one of the foremost centers of stone carving in Russia.
Founded in 1726, the Ekaterinburg Lapidary Factory became Russia’s leading center for hardstone carving. Initially producing small items from jasper and quartz, it expanded in the mid-18th century to supply marble details for Imperial palaces. From 1782 the factory specialized in large vases and bowls from jasper, malachite, and other stones, later creating monumental works in the Empire style that served as diplomatic gifts.
In the 19th century, under the patronage of the Academy of Arts and later the Imperial Cabinet, the factory produced malachite vases, church furnishings, and decorative objects for the Imperial court, securing its place as one of the foremost lapidary workshops in Europe.

Produced by the renowned Imperial Stroganov School in Moscow
The Imperial Stroganov School played an active role in the celebrations of the Romanov Tercentenary. In May 1913, an exhibition of the School’s works was held at the Kremlin Armoury in Moscow, attended by the Imperial family.
