About the Item

Fabergé: Imperial Eggs and Other Fantasies by Hermione Waterfield. Published by Charles Scribner's Sons, 1978. 1st Ed, 1st Printing hardcover with dust jacket. The Fabergé egg is one of a limited number of jeweled eggs created by Peter Carl Fabergé and his company from 1885 to 1917. The most famous of the eggs are the ones made for the Russian Tsars Alexander III and Nicholas II as Easter gifts for their wives and mothers, often called the Imperial Fabergé eggs. The House of Fabergé made about 50 eggs and 43 of them have survived. Another two were planned for Easter 1918, but because of the Russian Revolution were never delivered.

    By Asprey International Limited, Garrard & Co. Ltd.
    Located in London, GB
    This exceptional, 18 carat gold Easter egg was crafted by the famous London-based royal jewellers, Asprey & Co. The piece was then retailed by Garrard & Co, who once worked in collaboration with Asprey, producing luxury jewellery and silver for an elite clientele.
