K.FABERGE MARKs: A variety of marks can be seen on works by FABERGE, associated with the different branches of the firm. For example, works from St. Petersburg are marked 'FABERGE' in Cyrillic, while Moscow pieces are marked 'K. FABERGE' in Cyrillic and include the double-headed eagle of the imperial warrant. Objects that were produced for the London branch were hallmarked with 'FABERGE' in Latin. The House of FABERGE had a number of workshops, including Moscow, St. Petersburg and Odessa, each supervised by a workmaster such as Michael PERKHIN, Erik Kollin, Henrik Wigstrom, August Holmstrom and Julius Rappoport. The city and assay marks on a piece should always be consistent with the workmaster's initials.

HISTORY: The First Silver Artel was a group of silver and gold workmen in Russia active at the beginning of the 20th century. Before retiring, Julius Rappoport wished to reward his workmen for their long and faithful service and left his workshop and all its equipment to them. The first Silversmith's Artel was thus formed, and the House of FABERGE decided to promote the cooperative experiment by granting the group credit and commissions. The Artel worked from 1909 and used productions molds, including the animal figures, from Rappoport's stock, marking its products with ICA and the Imperial Warrant mark. After two or three years of internal discord, increases in the cost of production, and declines in quality, the Artel ceased to exist, circa 1912-13.
