The Ultimate Easter Egg
were at a 1997 Christie’s auction
when the “Winter Egg” of rock
crystal, commissioned by the
nephew of Alfred Nobel, fetched
$5.6 million. The same year, So
theby’s sold an imperial gift, the
“Love Trophy” egg for nearly
$3.2 million.
What makes the eggs so spe
cial? The mystique of the Russian
connection, and the use of pre
cious gems and metals, are not
the only reasons for such astro
nomical prices. The workman
ship alone warrants them. Add
the mechanical skill of the interi
or “surprises” that Faberge in
vented for most of his eggs and
it’s easy to understand.
Consider the “Orange Tree”
egg. When one of the jeweled
oranges is pressed, a tiny, feath
ered-gold nightingale appears
from the top of the tree to sing

One of the best-known Faberge
collectors was the late publisher
Malcolm Forbes. He kept his
paper clips in a Faberge dish on
his desk.
The Faberge eggs originated as
decorative Easter gifts pen
dants and various objects d’art in
the form of tiny eggs, popular in
the 1880 s. In 1884, Czar Alexan
der 111 asked Faberg’e to create
an unusual Easter gift for his
wife, the Empress Maria Feodo
rovna.
The first of the imperial eggs
was relatively simple. It con
tained a golden yoke, which in
turn held a tiny gold hen figu
rine. The czarina was so pleased
that the commissions came annu
ally, with each egg containing a
hidden surprise.
In 1896, when Nicholas II
came to the throne, he continued
the tradition, adding one for his
mother, the Dowager Empress.
Though Carl Faberge was bom
in Russia, his heritage and deco
rative influences are French. His
grandfather fled Huguenot perse
cution and became a Russian
subject. His father, Gustav Fa
berge, began training in his fa
ther’s workshop and was appren
ticed to a German goldsmith in
Frankfurt am Main. However, a
subsequent tour of Italy and
France and the techniques of
enamelers and goldsmiths were
his greatest influence.
At the age of 24 he took over
his father’s firm, in 1870. By 1882
his unique style of jewelry won
him the gold medal at Moscow’s
Pan-Russian Exhibition, and the
