Fabergé through the ages – a special showcase ‘Then & Now’ Exhibition
On the 13th September, Fabergé hosted a special exhibition of over 600 pieces, from the McFerrin Fabergé Collection at Houston Museum of Natural Science. This is the largest private collection of Fabergé in the world – a treasure trove of objects reflecting the artistry of Fabergé.
Many of these pieces, which were originally royal gifts explore the international politics, diplomacy, economics and innovation in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Beginning with the magnificent crown jewels of Catherine the Great, the development of Peter Carl Fabergé’s techniques and inspiration are explored.
Today, Fabergé continues the ‘Art of Gifting’ with exquisite creations inspired by its illustrious heritage. Owned by Gemfields, the world’s leading supplier of responsibly-sourced coloured gemstones, colour remains a key trait of Fabergé then and now.
Fabergé collections are available online and in our international boutiques.
