Faberge - the name itself evokes images of the glittering world of the last Tsars of Russia, and the priceless treasures created, regardless of time or cost, as royal gifts for special occasions. Faberge-style Easter eggs were among Russian home decor souvenirs. To create each egg, the world-famous Faberge firm combined the work of various craftsmen of differing expertise - from metalsmithing to diamond-cutting, from enamel work to painting. The presentation of pieces stylized like Easter eggs quickly became fashionable. Apart from being mere souvenirs, they could serve as clock cases, boxes, or photo frames. The Keren Kopal collection includes many Easter eggs, trinket boxes, and special collector's items in the Faberge style, which has inspired us to create these souvenirs for your home decoration.

A Faberge egg is a jeweled egg created by the House of Fabergé. The 69 eggs that were known to exist were manufactured under the supervision of Peter Carl Fabergé between 1885 and 1917. The most famous ones are those made for the Russian Tsars Alexander III and Nicholas II as Easter gifts for their wives and mothers. The House of Fabergé made 50 "Imperial" Easter eggs, of which 43 have now numbered as extant. Two eggs that were planned to be made for Easter 1917 were not delivered due to the Russian Revolution in which the Romanov Dynasty was overthrown and all the members of the imperial family executed.
