Bibi Hilton's House of Faberge Guilloche Enamel Rosebud Egg

Bibi Hilton's House of Faberge Gold Guilloche Enamel Rosebud Egg W/Original Box and Stand (From the Estate of Mrs. Bibi Hilton) - This beautiful Rosebud Egg from the House of Faberge was owned by Mrs. Bibi Hilton and used as decor in her Gulfport, Mississippi home. The egg is inspired by the original Rosebud Egg from 1895, presented by Emperor Nicholas II to his wife, Empress Alexandra Feodorovna, a few months after their marriage. This fine egg, crafted from gilt metal, gold guilloche enamel, and Swarovski Crystals, is by the House of Faberge. The egg opens to reveal an interior white and green floral bud, a trinket box which opens. The egg is raised on a gold gilt metal stand and includes the original box. Measurements: 3"H x 2"W. This item comes directly from the estate of Mrs. Bibi Hilton. Mrs. Hilton was the wife of famed Hilton hotelier and heir Eric Hilton of the Hilton Hotel family, the youngest grandson of Conrad Hilton. As the wife of Eric Hilton, Bibi Hilton traveled the world as a goodwill ambassadress for the Hilton Hotel chain. For over three decades, until his death, Bibi worked alongside her husband as his partner further branding the Hilton name to the internationally iconic status it is today. Bibi Hilton's brother-in-law, Barron Hilton, often acknowledged her as one of the Hilton Hotels Corporation's greatest assets.
