Probably best known for the exquisite Easter eggs that he crafted for the Russian Imperial house of Romanov, Peter Carl Fabergé was Russia’s premier master goldsmith at the beginning of the twentieth century, the House of Fabergé having been founded in St. Petersburg by his father, Gustav Fabergé in 1842. Although Fabergé would go on to design spectacular objects of ornamentation such as jewellery, jewelled flowers, enamel boxes and photograph frames, walking sticks, clocks and even a collection of animals, his Easter eggs are extraordinary creations of beauty which continue to fascinate.
