Peter Carl Fabergé (1846-1920)

Peter Carl Fabergé was born into a German-Baltic family of jewelers and took over the family’s jewelry shop in 1872. Besides working as a jeweler he also worked at the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, where he cataloged the jewelry collection together with his brother. Fabergé obtained his breakthrough with the now world-famous Fabergé eggs; the first egg was awarded a gold medal by the Russian Emperor Alexander III. Henceforth, numerous masterpieces were created, many commissioned by the royal family. The Russian Revolution ended Fabergé’s business, but today his creations remain highly sought after by collectors. The ornate eggs fetch several million euros on the international auction market.
