Faberge. Easter gifts

Before the 1917 Revolution, all the people of Russia were involved in Easter celebrations. Traditional Easter gifts were painted Eggs. In the XIXth- early XXth century, production of Easter Eggs became a particular branch in Russian art industry.

The key of the genre were Easter Surprise Eggs executed by The Faberge Firm for Russian Emperors. In the chapter “The Highest Сustomers” You can get to know these artworks and their receivers.

A large variety of Easter Surprises were produced by Moscow and Saint-Petersburg jewelry firms for people at large. They were Easter Eggs with enamels on filigree by Kurlyukov and Khlebnikov Factories, miniature eggs-pendants executed by The Faberge Firm and other Russian jewellers. The chapter “Easter gifts” is dedicated to these items.

The chapter “Jewelry and fantasie objects” presents various valuables and jewelry small-wares, also traditionally presented for Easter.

The chapter “Plan, views of the hall and showcases” presents real photos of the exhibition “Faberge. Imperial Court. Easter Surprises. In the Exhibition hall of Moscow Kremlin Museums. We hope, they will complete the idea of the exhibition.

Have a nice time!
