Nota de aplicación

A decorative engraving technique, in which a very precise and repetitive pattern is mechanically engraved into a surface (usually metal) with a rose engine lathe. This lathe produces precise geometric patterns and creates incisions to the surface at an even depth, which maximises light refraction. Guilloché engraving is often enhanced with a thin layer of translucent enamels, which increases the luminous quality of the engraved patterns. This combination is referred to as guilloché enamelling, and became a common decorative feature of Fabergé’s output.
