Miden1138, that wouldn't be much of a nod. The Faberge family were much more than "shopkeepers". I think the idea of the craftsman in his studio, perhaps even showing his creation to Faberge himself (and to the nobleman who created the commission ... although that would be a stretch, since the nobility seldom mingled with the craftsman during that period). But then you know ... maybe I've over analyzed this to death. Let the man craft whatever scene strikes his fancy.

Could be worse, could be raining.
