About this person

Peter Carl Gustavovich Fabergé was born 30 May 1846, son of Gustav Fabergé, who had founded the House of Fabergé. He trained as a goldsmith and jeweller in Russia, eventually taking over the family firm. The work that would define him came when he began crafting Easter eggs in the style of traditional ones, but executed in precious metals and gemstones instead of everyday materials. These Fabergé eggs became his signature, intricate creations that married craftsmanship with spectacle. He died 24 September 1920, but the eggs outlasted him, still synonymous with his name.
