HISTORY: A variety of marks can be seen on works by Faberge, associated with the different branches of the firm. For example, works from St. Petersburg are marked 'Faberge' in Cyrillic, while Moscow pieces are marked 'K. Faberge' in Cyrillic and include the double-headed eagle of the imperial warrant. Objects that were produced for the London branch were hallmarked with 'Faberge' in Latin. The House of Faberge had a number of workshops, including Moscow, St. Petersburg and Odessa, each supervised by a workmaster such as Michael Perchin, Erik Kollin, Henrik Wigstrom, August Holmstrom and Julius Rappoport. The city and assay marks on a piece should always be consistent with the workmaster's initials.
