Christmas Gifts: Russian Folk Art

Christmas Decorative Eggs

Fabergé Eggs

Peter Carl Fabergé (1846-1920) created extravagant works of exquisitely degined art for czars and czarinas, and other European and Asian aristocrats. Inside, each Fabergé egg contained a mechanical, jeweled surprise.In fact, Fabergé Imperial Eggs were commissioned annually for the Russian Czars Alexander III and Nicolas II. During Alexander's reign, only one Fabergé egg was made each year, presented to the Czar at Easter. When Nicholas II ascended the throne, Fabergé began making two eggs, one for the new Czar to give his wife, Alexandra, and the other for the Czar's mother. With their ornate design & historical appeal, these eggs made in the Fabergé tradition make unusual gifts that will be handed down in a family for generations, perfect for collectors at Christmas or Easter.
