The Pen is Mightier than the Sword' -Theo Fabergé's creative spirit at the moment of his Eightieth Birthday, applauds the spirit of positive communication that lies behind the old dictum.
His Signature Egg is a wonderful gift and desk ornament, crafted in french-polished Bubinga Wood and adorned with the ornamental turning for which he is justly renowned. Inlaid within the wood, seven circles represent the continents of the world. Decorated with 18 karat gold and surmounted with a cabochon ruby, in the Fabergé family tradition the Signature Egg holds a surprise - the pen, turned on Theo's Holtzappfel lathe dating from 1862. Drawn magically from the centre of the Egg, it arms the proud owner with the vocabulary of wisdom and culture.
