HOUSE of FABERGE: A Faberge workmaster is a craftsman who owned his own workshop and produced jewelry, silver or objets d'art for the House of FABERGE. When Karl Faberge took over the running of the business in 1882, its output increased so rapidly that the two FABERGE brothers could not manage all the workshops themselves. They therefore decided to establish independent workshops. The owners of these were committed to only work for the House of FABERGE that would supply the sketches and models of the objects to be made. Nothing would be accepted by the House unless it had been approved by either Carl or his appointed deputy. The House of FABERGE also employed its own designers. However we also know from the Memoirs of Francois Birbaum written in 1919 (Birbaum was Head Designer of the House of FABERGE from 1896 to 1917) that Carl also designed himself. The workmasters presided over teams of craftsmen and were responsible for executing pieces conceived by the company's designers. The House of FABERGE was staffed with some of the finest goldsmiths and jewellers available.
