Faberge Style Egg *Coach*
Russian Imperial Eggs
This lovely Russian egg has been created in the Faberge style. The original designs for the Imperial eggs were inspired by historical art works that Faberge imitated or copied from his travels or from the Hermitage.
The Faberge eggs began in 1884 with an Easter egg made by the brilliant Russian jeweller Faberge for the Russian tsar Alexander III that became a gift for his wife. Then Nicholas II, Alexander's son and last Russian Emperor continued the tradition. It was agreed that the Easter gift would always have an egg shape and would hold a surprise. The surprise was always kept secret.
