History of Faberge: This lecture was a good one! It began with the VMFA employee (I forgot her name and position) explaining the origin. The Faberge movement began with annual Easter gifts to Empress Feodorvna. Their were almost 50 of them created up until 1916. These eggs typically would hold a piece of decorative art with cultural references. Today 43 of the 50 eggs can be found in museums. Each egg was unique in its own way, no two eggs were ever the same. Not only were eggs created, but everyday household items and dinning items were made. The entire movement should be renamed the fancy era.
