WIKIPEDIA: The House of FABERGE is a jewellery firm founded in 1842 in Saint Petersburg, Russia, by Gustav FABERGE, using the accented name FABERGE. Gustav's sons, Peter Carl and Agathon, and grandsons followed him in running the business until it was nationalized by the Bolsheviks in 1918. The firm was famous for designing elaborate jewel-encrusted FABERGE eggs for the Russian Tsars, and for a range of other work of high quality and intricate detail. In 1924, Peter Carl's sons Alexander and Eugene FABERGE opened FABERGE and Cie in Paris, making similar jewellery items and adding the name of the city to their rival firm's trademark, styling it FABERGE, PARIS.
