Celebrated worldwide for superb craftsmanship and distinctive design language, the house produced numerous state gifts commissioned by the Russian Tsars. At the 1882 All-Russian Exhibition in Moscow, its wares earned widespread renown and were eagerly acquired by royal courts across Europe. An outstanding designer, Faberg?? specialised in working precious materials including gold, silver, jade and gemstones. Embracing bold innovation, he created many imaginative artistic objects bearing stylistic echoes of France’s Louis-XVI period. He oversaw independent ateliers in Moscow, Kyiv and London. His creations were treasured by the Russian imperial court and nobility throughout Europe.
