Founded in 1842 by Gustav Fabergé in St. Petersburg, the House of Fabergé became a global symbol of opulent artistry under his son, Peter Carl Fabergé. Appointed as the official goldsmith to the Russian Imperial Court in 1885, the firm achieved legendary status for its ingenious and lavish Imperial Easter Eggs, created annually for the Tsar as gifts for his wife and mother. These objets d'art, along with a wider repertoire of exquisite jewelry, timepieces, and decorative objects, were celebrated for their masterful use of techniques like guilloché enameling and their vibrant, design-led approach to colored gemstones. The Russian Revolution in 1917 abruptly ended the firm's imperial patronage, leading to its nationalization and the Fabergé family's exile.
