History of Faberge

Peter Carl Fabergé (1846-1920) was the supreme craftsman of his era. As master designer to the Imperial Russian Court, he fashioned exquisite works of art for two Russian Czars and the Russian Imperial Court. During his lifetime, faberge workshops have created over 200,000 objets d'art, including 50 Imperial faberge eggs.

Czar Nicholas II was the last Russian Emperor. Nicholas succeeded to the throne following his father's death in October of 1894. Later that month he married the German princess, Alexandra of Hesse-Darmstadt. He was a strong believer in the autocratic power of Csardom and resisted demands for political reforms.

Tsar Alexander III succeeded to the throne after the assassination of his father Alexander II in March 1881. He commissioned The Hen Egg to be presented to his wife, the Empress Maria Fedorovna, Easter 1885 to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of their betrothal. This very first Imperial Faberge Egg created by Peter Carl Faberge for the Czar of Russia marked the beginning of a faberge tradition that was to last thirty-two years.
