This exquisite Russian Imperial sculpture features a rat in a top hat with a movable cane crafted out of sterling silver and nephrite. The nephrite is medium to medium light muddy green with black inclusions, several white spots, and good luster. The silver is tarnished and may be polished. Signed I.P for Julius Alexandrovitch Rappoport, a Russian silversmith and one of Fabergé’s rare craftsmen of Jewish origin.

From 1886 till 1908, he was one of the four main leaders of Fabergé workshops and was the Fabergé’s most important supplier of large silver objects.
