 A brilliant talk was given at the Annual Pilgrim and Mayflower meeting yesterday about Peter Carl Faberge (Фаберже́)

He was a Master Craftsman although he has made many items he is most well known for the Russian Imperial Eggs.



The first Fabergé egg was crafted for Tzar Alexander III, who had decided to give his wife, the Empress Maria Fedorovna, an Easter Egg in 1885. He supervised the making of over 50 pieces for the Imperial Family.
