Teach children about a unique period in Russian history while they enjoy coloring these artistic renditions of Imperial Russian Fabergé Easter egg designs.
Fabergé eggs are jewelled eggs made by the Russian jewler, Peter Carl Fabergé and his assistants between 1885 and 1917 for Russian Tsars.
Tsar Alexander III commissioned the first Fabergé egg to be made by the House of Fabergé in 1885 as a gift for the Empress Maria Fedorovna.
Most of the Fabergé Easter eggs were given to Tsars Alexander III and Nicholas II of Russia.
The original eggs were constructed with precious metals and decorated with various gems and enamels. Many eggs have been lost over time.
In 1990, the Fabergé Arts Foundation (FAF) in Washington D.C. and St. Petersburg established a museum and now works to promote the legacy of Carl Fabergé by holding exhibitions and preserving architectural landmarks where Fabergé was born.
