What is it about Fabergé’s creations that fascinates people? Of course the imperial eggs are worth millions of dollars and the craftsmanship of a genuine Fabergé is remarkable, but there are other reasons that are just as compelling. This gallery talk will explore the stories of opulence, revolution, and death associated with these works of art; the personal connections that people make with them; and why they evoke nostalgic visions of a vanished era.
