This lovely Russian Easter 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. Gilding, colored enamel. 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.
