NEW YORK — Faberge began as a jewelry firm in 1842 in St. Petersburg, Russia, and is famous for its Imperial Easter eggs. These jeweled and opulent works of art were mostly made between 1885 and 1917, with slightly more than 50 examples surviving today. While it has changed hands and now only focuses on jewelry and gemstones, the House of Faberge was also once well known for its luxury accessories, which ranged from clocks and silver trophy cups to smalls such as snuff boxes and compacts.
