The show is a part of the largest collection of Faberge outside of Russia. Unique to this exhibition is a small collection of “Fauxbergé” objects – Fabergé look-alikes once believed to be originals.

“These treasured objects encompass the beauty of art while also telling one of the most powerful stories in history – the fall of the Russian imperial family,” said BGFA Executive Director Tarissa Tiberti. “‘Fabergé Revealed’ will highlight each of the distinct styles displayed in the original House of Fabergé stores in St. Petersburg, Moscow and London centuries ago.”

The House of Fabergé created over 150,000 creations of art, jewels and silver articles throughout the late 1800s and early 1900ss. The collection will feature some signature pieces from Fabergé’s original collection including the including the Imperial Pelican Easter Egg (1897), created to celebrate the Dowager Empress of Russia.
