]]> <![CDATA[AMBER EGG]]> Amber has enthralled us for centuries because of the golden jewel-encrusted Amber Room, which was made of several tons of the gemstone.  A gift to Peter the Great in 1716 celebrating peace between Russia and Prussia, the room’s fate became anything but peaceful: Nazis looted it during World War II, and in the final months of the war, the amber panels which had been packed away in crates, disappeared.  A replica was completed in 2003, but the contents of the original, dubbed “the Eighth Wonder of the World” have remained missing for decades.

Golden Gift

Construction of the Amber Room began in 1701.  It was originally intended to be installed at Charlottenburg Palace, home of Friedrich I, the first King of Prussia.  Truly an international collaboration, the room was designed by the court architect of King Friedrich I, Iozander von Geothe and constructed by German and Danish craftsmen.  Peter the Great admired the room on a visit, and in 1716 the King of Prussia – then Frederick William I – presented it to Peter as a gift, cementing a Prussian-Russian alliance against Sweden.

The Amber Room was shipped to Russia in 18 large boxes and installed in the Winter House in St Petersburg as part of a European art collection.  In 1755 Czarina Elizabeth ordered the room to be moved to the Grand Palace in Tsarskoye Selo or “Czar’s Village.” Italian designer Bartolomeo Francesco Rastrelli redesigned the room to fit into its new, larger space, adding carvings, paintings, Florentine mosaics and an amber frame shipped from Berlin.

The craftsmen who reconstructed the Amber Room gave the initial inspiration to the Amber Egg.  All the design elements of this creation come from the Amber Room.  The Amber Egg is crystal adorned with the Imperial Crown with a cabochon ruby.

]]> <![CDATA[ANICHKOV EGG]]> In 1993 Theo Fabergé returned to St Petersburg with a group of his Collectors.  It was on a warm sunny day that he walked over and marvelled at the Anichkov Bridge on Nevsky Prospect.  This was the first and most famous bridge across the Fontanka River.  The current bridge, built in 1841-42 and reconstructed in 1906-1908, combines a simple form with some spectacular decorations.  As well as its four famous horse sculptures made in 1849-50, the bridge has some of the most celebrated ornate iron railings.  The bridge is mentioned in books by Pushkin, Gogal and Dostoevsky.

 

The beauty of the bridge inspired Theo Fabergé to create his Anichkov Egg.  The Egg crafted in pure gold, sterling silver and cherry red guilloché enamel is supported by the four horse sculptures. The finial of the Imperial Crown is set with a cabochon ruby.

 

The surprise within, is a sterling silver and pure gold merhorse holding a trident, a design feature from the bridge railings.  The base of the surprise is fully hallmarked with Theo Fabergé’s personal mark.

]]> <![CDATA[Birth of the New World Egg*]]> The late 15th and early 16th centuries marked the moment of greatest exploration for Man as he daringly took to the Seas in quest of knowledge and trade. Theo Fabergé, last grandson of Imperial Jeweller Carl Fabergé, celebrates the 500th anniversary of the first occurrence of the word ‘America’, with his BIRTH OF THE NEW WORLD Egg. The priceless Waldseemüller Map of 1507 housed in the United States Library of Congress, incorporated for the first time those four magic syllables that have become synonymous with the promise of liberty and justice. Here too was depicted the first recorded image of the Americas as a distinct continent, and the first approximation of the Far East lands. Thus was born a New World, driven by opportunity as well as commerce from East-West trade.

 

Theo Fabergé has created in bronze, the two great explorers whose fearless voyages contributed to the Waldseemüller Map - Amerigo Vespucci and Vasco da Gama. Dressed in the robes and Christian jewellery of their epoch, they stand heroically posed on a symbolic log-book, its page indicated with a golden marker bearing Fabergé swags and set with a brilliant diamond. With one hand, they hold the drawing-instruments and scrolls of their vocation; with the other they support aloft the golden Egg upon which is represented the Map.

 

The Egg is crafted in 18-karat gold, hand spun and polished to perfection. Entirely hand engraved upon it, the Map is laid out in the first century Ptolemaic system. Each continent and island is reproduced in painstaking loyalty to the 500-year old original. Running ropework in white gold, frames two panels of symbolic clouds. The finial is modelled after two heraldic cartographers’ dolphins, their faces modelled after the major winds shown on the Map.

 

Open the Egg, to reveal the surprise; a model of Vasco da Gama’s great flagship the San Gabriel in sterling silver and 18-carat gold, upon a base engine-turned in mimicry of the ocean waves. Lift up the ship and see a final detail; in the Fabergé family tradition, Theo has placed a perfect miniature of a 16th century mariner’s quadrant in silk and copper, to guide the explorers of yesteryear as well as today’s collectors, on their voyages.

 

Theo Fabergé’s BIRTH OF THE NEW WORLD EGG is a wondrous tribute to the America of 500 years ago and of today. This is the apogee of craftsmanship and valuable design in the 21st century.

]]> <![CDATA[Carousel Egg]]> Theo Fabergé worked on perfecting his Carousel Egg for many years and was particularly inspired during his many visits to the United States.  This creation captures the essence of carousel art as perfected in the American amusements made between 1860 and the late 1920s.  Immigrant craftsmen brought their skills to their new home and expanded on a popular ride for both children and adults that had existed on the Continent since the early 1700s.  American figures are more elaborate than European, in particular their horses having tossed manes, animated bodies and expressive eyes as identifying hallmarks.

This sterling silver, 18 carat gold and enamel Egg, is a first in having two colours of brilliant enamel on the shell, both royal blue and cherry red guilloché enamel.  The finial, the Romanov Crown, is set with a cabochon ruby.  The decoration on the outside of the Egg is taken from design themes from working antique carousels.

On opening the Egg, the surprise, a working carousel embellished with Theo’s favourite engine turning.   Upon being wound, as the carousel rotates, it horses rise and descend to the music of the Carousel Waltz by Chopin.  The three distinctive American styles are represented in Theo’s lavishly hand-painted enamelled horses: the Philadelphia, the Coney Island and Country Fair.

Each creation is numbered and bears Theo Fabergé’s hallmark. Presentation in a golden carriage-case with limited edition certificate.

]]> <![CDATA[Firebird Passion Egg]]> The story of the Firebird goes back to the folk tales of old. Some say that the Firebird flies down from the Tsar’s castle and eats his golden apples; the Tsar’s three sons try to catch the bird, but find only a feather ’ but it glows in the night, illuminating the castle room and lightening their hearts. Theo Fabergé’s Firebird Passion is created in sterling silver, 18 karat gold and guilloché enamelled in rich red, the enamelling process exactly as beloved by Theo’s grandfather Carl Fabergé. The finial and surrounding ornamentation mimic the fabled feather, the same motif being employed to support the Egg atop its pedestal.
Theo’s fancy takes him to another variant of the myth, which says that as the Firebird flies his eyes sparkle and pearls, descending from his beak, fall into the hands of serfs who are thus able to make their way in life. The Egg and pedestal are ornamented with exquisite cultured full pearls.

Open the Egg, and in the tradition of the Fabergé family behold the surprise within. The Firebird, hand-crafted, stands on the apple-tree branch created in sterling silver and 18 karat gold, its blossom hand-decorated and set with diamonds.

The bird’s wings bear carat-weights of full-cut white diamonds, and his eyes and crest are cleverly rendered in precious red and pink sapphire. The Firebird may be removed from the Egg and worn as a brooch. Its tail may be detached and worn as a pendant. The iridescent Firebird is reputed to have magical properties and to act both as saviour and devil, to anyone who catches it. Theo Fabergé’s Firebird Passion further imbues the viewer with wonder at the enduring story, and with pure pleasure at a triumph in design and craftsmanship.

]]> <![CDATA[Gold Rush Egg*]]> Theo Fabergé, only living grandson of Russian Imperial Jeweller Carl Fabergé, has created the GOLD RUSH EGG in celebration of the pioneers who came to California in the years following 1849, and created both the legend and the wealth of the Californian gold rush. He pays tribute too, to the brave men and women who found the precious metal he has worked in for so many years.
The Californian bear stands erect and fearsome in his role as guardian of the natural treasures of the Golden State. The bear presides over the images, hand-engraved on 18 karat yellow gold, of the Clipper arriving in harbour at San Francisco bearing its cargo of Forty-Niners after the treacherous voyage round Cape Horn. To the reverse, the Conestoga wagon with its families of prospectors making their arduous journey for the promise of gold.

Theo Fabergé places the Sierra Nevada mountains at the centre of his GOLD RUSH EGG, snow-capped over their red-gold flanks. At their foot flows and falls the Sacremento River in white gold, and on its banks we see the miner seeking his treasure from the American River. To the reverse, a pair of hand-engraved scales are poised on the solid gold egg-shell, ready for the day when his patience and labour are rewarded.

A sifting-pan bears miniature pairs of pick-axe, shovel and woodman’s axes, over a pedestal around which Theo places the heroes of the Gold Rush. The prospector rests for a while next his pack-mule, laden with tools; a business man contemplates the risks and potential of his venture - and its fruits; and Theo depicts the girl in the saloon-bar, the miner’s sweet solace after weeks of lonely labour ’ Clementine’s little sister?

Open the Egg to view the surprise; a hand modelled water-wheel rotates as it carries the ore-bearing white-gold water to the red-gold Chinaman tending his Long Tom. And in the family tradition, Theo reserves his last discovery. A perfect miniature of the central pedestal of the GOLD RUSH EGG presents an original nugget of Californian gold: the journey, the privation, the labour, the dream - all yield their reward to the inheritors of this proud American tradition as they face the challenges and opportunities of the 21st Century.

The pale blue guilloché enamelled egg reflecting the River Neva that flows past the Hermitage, is held aloft by three Atlas statues, just like the portico to the Little Hermitage. Two of the Atlas statues can be seen from any direction.  The Egg is offset with the Romanov crown inset with a cabochon ruby. To the front of the egg is the monogram and cypher of Catherine the Great, set with diamonds, while on the reverse is the double headed eagle.

 

The surprise on opening the egg, Catherine the Great’s Coronation Coach in silver, gold, enamel and diamonds. This surprise follows Theo’s Celebration Egg created in 2001 with the surprise within of the English Coronation Coach.

]]> <![CDATA[Icon Egg]]> The inspiring fable of St George and the Dragon is beautifully depicted in 24 karat gold on jet black crystal. This magical Egg symbolises man's courage and faith in the face of such insurmountable odds.

]]> <![CDATA[Imari Egg*]]> In the 17th century, British sailors discovered Imari, a port in Japan that created very fine porcelain. Imari used rich colourings including gold to enhance the most exotic subjects depicting the Japanese culture. The Imari Egg is Theo's own interpretation of this early Japanese porcelain. Each Egg is entirely hand painted onto rich cobalt blue porcelain. The Egg opens to reveal a magnificent sterling silver Pagoda and Japanese Temple embellished with gold. The inspiration came from Theo Fabergé's fond memories, especially those of his childhood. The Egg is offset with the Imperial Crown in vermeil set with a cabochon ruby.

]]> <![CDATA[Imperial Frame]]> Theo Fabergé’s IMPERIAL FRAME is created in the magnificent tradition of picture frames originated by his grandfather Carl Fabergé, warrant holder to the royal Court.
Inspired by a passion for the architecture and environment of the former capital city, Theo chose Karelian Birch for his creation. This rare and unique wood is found only in the Gulf of Finland and the surrounding area through which St Petersburg’s River Neva flows, and is distinguished by a creamy white grain with contrasting brown flecks.

The wood bears a hallmarked silver and gold plaque, double engine-turned and enamelled in azure blue. To the centre, the famed double-headed eagles of the Romanov dynasty. To left and right, vermeil cherubs announce their message of tribute and affection.

Theo Fabergé’s IMPERIAL FRAME is a tribute to fine craftsmanship, in the achievement of artistic and decorative accessories.

]]> <![CDATA[Kiev Egg*]]> The third creation of Russian splendour by Theo Fabergé was inspired by the elegance and architectural beauty of the cathedrals and churches in the city of Kiev. A sterling silver Egg surmounted by the Imperial Crown, enriched with 18 karat gold and cobalt blue enamel, rests on a white marble base. The intricate towers reaching for the sky.
On opening the Egg, the surprise, a miniature vermeil stand surmounted with rubies and a lapis lazuli cupola, displaying a replica of the splendid brocade, which adorns the Imperial Palace in St. Petersburg.

]]> <![CDATA[King of the Oceans Egg]]> Inspired by Theo Fabergé’s Sea Fountain Egg the KING OF THE OCEANS EGG continues that theme with this beautiful Egg in sterling silver and gold and then guilloché enamelled in deep blue, reminding us of the ocean.
The KING OF THE OCEANS EGG is adorned in gold and silver with two enchanting sea horses with sparkling ruby eyes swimming among the flowing sea flora. The finial, the Imperial Crown is set with a cabochon ruby, Theo Fabergé's favourite gemstone and surrounded by gold seashells.

Open the Egg to reveal the surprise; Neptune, the King of the Oceans fashioned in gold and silver. Trident in one hand and roped miniature pearl in the other he stands aloft to speed ships and passengers safely on their journey.

Each creation is numbered and bears Theo Fabergé’s name and hallmark.

]]> <![CDATA[Loving Bird’s Passion]]> For the second in the fantasy collection, Theo has created a masterpiece with 573 diamonds. Two diamond-encrusted lovebirds perch on diamond vine branches, which form a bow. They guard an intricately woven cavern of 18 karat gold concealing a gold and diamond locket that opens to reveal a lapis timepiece. The Loving Birds and locket can be worn separately or together as a brooch. Edition Complete.

]]> <![CDATA[Mariinsky Egg*]]> Theo created the Mariinsky Egg to celebrate the 250th Anniversary of the building of the Mariinsky Palace, and the 10th Anniversary of its function as democratic seat of the St Petersburg Legislative Assembly.
Presented in pristine white enamel, on a shell of guilloché sterling silver and gold, the top bears a representation of the panels from the interior dome. The Imperial eagle, its two heads gazing to west and east, is positioned in vermeil at the front. To the rear, the coat-of-arms of St Petersburg. Theo surmounts the Egg with the Imperial Crown, also in vermeil and set with a cabochon ruby. The foot is ornamentally turned on Theo's Holtzapffel lathe dating from 1861.

On opening the Egg, the surprise within; in exquisite miniature, a model of the Palace as first built. Etched in 18 karat gold on silver and bearing the traditional British hallmark, a detailed floor plan illustrates the extensions of the past two-and-a-half centuries.

]]> <![CDATA[Mariinsky Romanov Egg]]> To celebrate the 400th Anniversary of the Romanov Dynasty and the association of St Petersburg Collection, creations by Theo Fabergé, with the city of St Petersburg, Philip Birkenstein, Chairman of the St Petersburg Collection, is delighted to present the citizens of St Petersburg and the St Petersburg Parliament with a very special creation, THE MARIINSKY ROMANOV EGG.

The Egg created in crystal, gold and silver is a celebration of the interior decoration of the Mariinsky Palace, all white and gold. The top of the Egg takes its design from the dome of the Rotunda of the Palace.

The Egg is surmounted with the Romanov Crown, set with a cabochon ruby. A reminder of the 18 Romanov Tsars of Russia.

This design uniquely has two surprise compartments. On opening the Egg, the Romanov Griffin with sword and shield in hand, eyes set with sparkling sapphires. Alongside the griffin, Theo Fabergé’s unique British hallmark. On lifting the Egg from the base, a further surprise, the architectural footprint of the Mariinsky Palace in 18 karat gold and sterling silver.

This Mariinsky Romanov Egg, to celebrate the quadricentenary of the Romanov’s, is a gift from Philip Birkenstein to the Mariinsky Palace Legislative. All visitors to this beautiful Palace, can see the history of not only the Romanov’s but also of Theo Fabergé, grandson of Carl Fabergé, jeweller to the Tsars of Russia.

]]> <![CDATA[Millennium Fountain Egg*]]> A hand-painted cerulean blue porcelain Egg is mounted on a vermeil pedastal originally turned on Theo Fabergé’s Holtzapffel lathe and set with some 250 precious stones. Exquisite raised motifs illustrate the passing of time and the sunrise. A fountain of light crowns the final. On opening, the surprise: a glittering fountain of aquamarines rises from the midst of sculpted heraldic dolphins.

On opening, the surprise: a glittering fountain of aquamarines rises from the midst of sculpted heraldic dolphins, set in a pond of mouth-blown, hand-cut crystal. Look beneath the pond, to find Theo Fabergé's last surprise and wish for the new Millennium!

The cupolas are hand carved and faceted from lapis, rose quartz, tiger's eye and malachite.

]]> <![CDATA[New Patriot Egg*]]>  

Theo Fabergé’s New Patriot Egg celebrates a City and Nation, which triumph over the adversity of September 11, 2001.

 

The New Patriot Egg stands on a base of nero portero Carrera marble. Hand wrought and bronze, the pentagon and pedestal unite the new heroes of Ground Zero – the policeman, a construction worker, the New York fireman, an armed Special Forces combatant, and an Emergency Medical Services operative. Above them, one of the two cityscapes of New York poignantly omits the Twin Towers.

 

From the city, the flames of the World Trade Centre are hand raised and chased in 18 karat yellow gold and in red gold. The yellow gold Egg above, is hand engraved with the 50 stars of the United States; and the Eagle of Justice is sculpted in multi-coloured, solid gold, its eyes brilliant rubies.

 

Open the Egg and Ground Zero is portrayed, its wreckage relieved by a pristine American flag, hand-engraved and bright polished - all in 18 karat white gold. Theo’s final surprise is the hand-carved model of the Tomb of the Unknowns, sculpted in statuary marble.

 

Theo Fabergé depicts Americans of the 21st Century, willing to pay the ultimate price to preserve the freedom of the nation and their fellow-citizens. This remarkable objet d’art commemorates the world’s tribute to our New Patriots.

 

]]> <![CDATA[New World Egg*]]> Theo Fabergé always appreciated the regard borne towards him and his family by his collectors in USA. This year 2007 was the 500th anniversary of the first occurrence of the word 'America'. The priceless Waldseemüller Map of 1507, now housed in the United States Library of Congress, incorporated for the first time those four magic syllables that have become synonymous with liberty and justice. Here too were depicted the first recorded image of the Americas as a distinct continent, and the first vision of the Far Eastern lands. We witness the discovery of the new worlds to the East and to the West of Europe, driven by fascinated opportunity and by the prospect of commerce.
Theo Fabergé created his NEW WORLD EGG in sterling silver with 18 karat gold, hand spun and polished to perfection. Entirely hand-chased upon it, the Map is laid out in the original configuration; the continents and islands are reproduced faithfully after the 500-year old original. Running rope work to top and base, frames two panels in marine-blue guilloché enamel - the famous technique distinguished by the great Carl - on hand engine-turning.

]]> <![CDATA[Ocean Egg]]> The Ocean Egg, a creation by Theo Fabergé depicting the mysterious marine life within the deep swaying waters of the ocean. The Egg, made of 24% lead crystal with delicately hand painted aquatic grasses in 24 karat gold, gently surround the colourful tropical fish. The red and white clown fish has discovered treasure, a faceted ruby, lifted out of the sand by the swirling current on the seabed.
Looking through the Egg, a shy Sea Horse can be seen hidden amongst the swaying leaves.

The Egg is offset with the Imperial Russian Crown in vermeil with a cabochon ruby and stands on an ornamentally turned 18 karat gilded decorative base.

]]> <![CDATA[Odessa Egg*]]> The Odessa Egg completes the series of four creations by Theo Fabergé inspired by the magnificent architecture of the four great cities of former Russia, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kiev and Odessa, where Carl Fabergé had his shops and workshops. The Odessa Egg, portraying the Hero City as it was known in Russia, is stylised with an adaptation of the Potemkin Steps. The Russian double headed eagle looks to both the continents of Europe and Asia.
The sterling silver Egg, with 18 karat gold is surmounted with the Imperial Crown and detailed with crossed anchors.

Within the Egg, a miniature vermeil screen enhanced with naval images. Within the screen, the hand woven silk brocade of the Russian double headed eagle.

]]> <![CDATA[Orchid Egg]]> The Orchid Egg, a creation by Theo Fabergé of his favourite flower, is crafted in fine porcelain and adorned with delicately hand painted exotic birds and butterflies resting in the foliage. Looking into the Egg, a beautiful cluster of brilliantly coloured orchids, intricately crafted in fine bone china.
The Egg is offset with the Imperial Russian Crown with a cabochon ruby.

]]> <![CDATA[Peter the Great Egg*]]> The Peter the Great Egg is presented in rich Romanov-red, hand engine-turned in a pattern representing the waves on the River Neva, and guilloché enamelled. In 18 karat gold on hallmarked sterling silver, the top is adorned with the sea-gryphons found on the City's magnificent Admiralty Building. To the rear, in vermeil, appear the eagles of the Czars, their double-heads symbolising Russia's conjuncture between Europe and Asia.
The Finial is the Russian Imperial Crown in vermeil set with a cabochon ruby. The base bears raised anchors, interpolating the distinctive Fabergé swags. Theo's Holtzapffel lathe, dating from 1861, crafts the ornamentally-turned foot upon which the creation stands.

In the family tradition, there is a surprise within the Egg; the statue of Peter the Great on his galloping stallion, rearing to crush the snake of evil, poised atop the granite block to the fore of the Senate Building. Modelled in sterling silver throughout, and bearing a patina to resemble Etienne Falconet's original, they stand on a hand-turned decorated base.

]]> <![CDATA[Peterhof Egg]]> The magnificence of the Palaces and Parks of Peterhof inspired Theo Fabergé to design The Peterhof Egg. Hand painted and sculptured in fine bone china in relief, the front is taken from a 19th century painting of the façade of the Great Palace. The Neptune Fountain, within the upper gardens of the Parks is featured upon the reverse with three mythical golden dolphins supporting the Egg.
The Peterhof Egg is surmounted with the dome of the church of St Peter and St Paul created in vermeil.

Within, a replica in sterling silver and gold of the Throne Room of the Great Palace, detailed with the portrait of Catherine the Great hanging behind the throne.

]]> <![CDATA[Pink Orchid Egg*]]> Theo Fabergé loved the Orchid, above all other flowers. Inspired by its eternal beauty and furthering his famous grandfather Carl Fabergé's love of flower surprises, Theo's PINK ORCHID EGG allows nature and craftsmanship to combine in an eloquent testimonial to his art.
The creation incorporates the materials and skills made famous by the Fabergé's at the Imperial Court of St Petersburg at the turn of the last century. The PINK ORCHID EGG is engine-turned and guilloché enamelled in pristine white. Sterling silver orchid sprays, decorated with 18 karat gold and hand-enamelled in pink, adorn the upper sides of the Egg. The lower half is offset with further sprays of enamel, gold and silver, with the famous Fabergé swags formed in stylised orchid leaves and bearing eight full-cut diamonds - one for each of Theo's eight decades. The finial, set with a cabochon ruby, represents the Romanov State Crown. The base is ornamentally turned on Theo Fabergé's own Holzapffel lathe.

The surprise within is a classic jardiniére, hand-carved in ebony and holding an orchid in bud and in bloom; the jardiniére may be lifted out for display adjacent to the closed Egg, and bears the full hallmark. Further orchid sprays lie on the surrounding velvet floor, one set with a faceted white diamond.

The PINK ORCHID EGG is the second in Theo's Flower series, the first being the Poppy Egg. The PINK ORCHID EGG pursues a family tradition of objets d'art, and its individual presentation assures the enhancement of every beautiful dwelling-place.

Each creation is numbered and bears Theo Fabergé's signature. Presentation in Golden Carriage-case

]]> <![CDATA[Poppy Egg*]]> Inspired by the significance of the poppy as a remembrance and Carl Fabergé's love of flower surprises, Theo Fabergé designed his Poppy Egg to follow the family traditions but within his own style.
Theo designed beautiful creations for six decades and used six cut white diamonds in the poppy seed pods which is part of the decoration on the outside of the traditionally enamelled Egg.

The Egg is made using materials and techniques made famous by the Fabergé family. The Egg is engine turned and then guilloché enamelled in deep cherry red - probably one of the most difficult enamel colours to achieve. The base, turned on Theo Fabergé's Holzapffel lathe, has stylised interlocking poppies.

The surprise within is a flower pot with a poppy in bud and flower. The enamelled poppy is set with a full cut black diamond in the stamen. The flowerpot, engine turned, lifts out as a separate creation and bears the full hallmark.

]]> <![CDATA[Purple Heart Egg]]> If love is forever, what better expression of it, than this beautifully created Egg.
It is made of Zebrano wood from West Africa and the Imperial Crown of Russia is of vermeil with a Cabochon ruby. The base is 18 karat gold plated and ornamentally turned.

The body of the Egg is finely inlaid, and concealed in its heart is a specially designed compartment of South American Purple Heart wood that will safely hold a precious ring.

]]> <![CDATA[Red Admiral Egg*]]> Theo Fabergé designed his RED ADMIRAL EGG as a token to the beauty and fragility of nature. He was inspired by the significance of the butterfly and by Carl Fabergé's love of flower surprises, thus following the family tradition but within his own style.

For 2013 Theo Fabergé, grandson of Carl Fabergé, has designed the Romanov Quadricentenary Egg which will be presented to the City of St Petersburg.
