WIKIPEDIA: A FABERGE egg is a jewelled egg created by the House of FABERGE, in St. Petersburg, Imperial Russia. Virtually all were manufactured under the supervision of Peter Carl FABERGE between 1885 and 1917, the most famous being the 50 'Imperial' eggs, 43 of which survive, made for the Russian Tsars Alexander III and Nicholas II as Easter gifts for their wives and mothers.

WORKMASTER: Anders Juhaninpoika Nevalainen was a Russian gold- and silversmith, FABERGE workmaster of Finnish origin. Anders Nevalainen was an apprentice in Finland and in St. Petersburg in 1874, a goldworker in 1875 (and registered as an employee of FABERGE), and a master goldsmith in 1885. As master first working in the jewelry atelier of August Holmstrom, he soon became head of workshop under exclusive contract with FABERGE. His workshop made silver-mounted frames in birchwood, palisander or lacquer, silver- and gold cigarette-cases, enameled silver-gilt cases with leather sleeves, several small silver-gilt objects. His initials A.N, mostly used with K.FABERGE mark without the double-headed eagle Imperial Warrant. The Nevalainen family returned to Finland after the Russian Revolution in 1917. Anders Nevalainen died in Terijoki in 1933.
