Fabergé egg
Jeweled Easter egg mostly commissioned by the Czar of Russia / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Fabergé egg is one of the jewelled eggs made by Peter Carl Fabergé and his company between 1885 and 1917.[1]
The most famous are those made for the Russian Tsars Alexander III and Nicholas II.[source?] They were Easter gifts for their wives and mothers, and are called the 'Imperial' Fabergé eggs. The House of Fabergé made about 52 imperial eggs, of which 46 have survived.[2] Two more were planned for Easter 1918, but were not delivered, due to the Russian Revolution.[3]
