A collection of sixteen Fabergé-style enamelled and jewelled metal trinket boxes and decorative objects. The group comprises fourteen egg-shaped trinket boxes, one swan-form trinket box, and one Christmas tree-form decorative object. The items are constructed from cast metal with a gold-tone finish and decorated with opaque and guilloché enamelling in shades of ruby red, cobalt blue, emerald green, royal purple, and pink. Each piece is heavily embellished with inset clear and coloured crystals. The egg-shaped boxes feature traditional motifs including trellis patterns, floral sprays, scrollwork, and lattice designs, with many mounted on three-footed or pedestal stands. Several eggs contain miniature surprises, such as a gold-tone coronation carriage and a carousel-style object. The swan-form trinket box is finished in blue enamel with clear stones on the neck and wings, while the tiered green Christmas tree features garlands of gold-tone metal and pearls. The hinged boxes open to reveal enamelled interiors in shades of orange, cream, or red. Several pieces feature a red circular medallion on the interior or base with gold-tone stylized initials, possibly AB or JB.
