Eggs

Scholars have identified four categories of Fabergé eggs purchased by and given to members of the Russian Imperial family and other wealthy individuals at the turn of the 20th century. Extensive details for these eggs are enumerated in these resources:

Lowes, Will and Christel Ludewig McCanless. Fabergé Eggs: A Retrospective Encyclopedia, 2001. Monograph gives comprehensive information about 66 Fabergé eggs divided into four categories - Tsar Imperial, Imperial, Kelch and Other. Technical descriptions, all known public exhibitions and auctions through 1997, and reference citations (books, journals, newspapers, and miscellaneous sources) covering the literature of nine countries are given for each egg. Who's Who in the House of Fabergé profiles 500 artisans and companies who worked for or with Fabergé.

Fabergé, Tatiana, Lynette Proler and Valentin Skurlov. The Fabergé Imperial Easter Eggs, 1997. Letters written by Tsars Alexander III and Nicholas II, Fabergé invoices, cabinet documents and Bolshevik inventories are the basis for new research by Valentin V. Skurlov of St. Petersburg and his co-authors. This information sheds new light on the history of the Fabergé eggs.

Multi-lingual website maintained in the Netherlands includes the four categories of known Fabergé eggs.
