These eggs are made in the style and tradition of Faberge home. These beautiful pieces of art will be a great gift. Gilded brass, colored enamel, faux jewels.
The House of Faberge was staffed with some of the finest goldsmiths and jewelers available. Interestingly enough, Peter Carl Faberge did not actually create any of the famous eggs that bear his name. The business was divided into several small workshops, each with its own specialty. In addition to the fabulous easter eggs, the workshop also produced table silver, jewelry, European-style trinkets, and Russian-style carvings. The two mastejewelersrs most responsible for the Faberge eggs were Michael Evlampievich Perchin and Henrik Wigstrom. Born in 1860, Perchin became the leadinwork masterer in the House of Faberge in 1886 and supervised production of the eggs until 1903. Those eggs he waresponsiblele for have his MP (MP- Michael Perchin) markings. All signed eggs made after 1903 bear Henrik Wigstrom’s HW mark. Of course, not all eggs were stamped, so other goldsmiths may have supervised production of some of the eggs.
