Fabergéous The ‘Victoria and Albert Museum’ will present a Fabergé exhibition that will focus on the Carl Fabergé’s relationship with London. It will conclude with three of his legendary ‘Imperial Easter Eggs’ that will go on display for the first time in the U.K. The three bejewelled Easter eggs will be among 200 objects in the exhibition titled ‘Fabergé in London: Romance to Revolution’ which will tell the story of Carl Fabergé, the man, and his internationally recognised firm that symbolised Russian craftsmanship and elegance - an association further strengthened by its connection to the romance, glamour and tragedy of the Russian Imperial family. The exhibition will include at least one tiara, which will be shown in the second section of the exhibition, dedicated to the mastery of techniques and intricate detailing that became synonymous with Carl Fabergé and his firm. Described by the ‘V&A Museum’ as a “dazzling beauty,” the aquamarine and diamond tiara was a “token of love” from Frederick Francis IV, Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin to his bride Princess Alexandra of Hanover and Cumberland on their wedding day. ‘Fabergé in London: Romance to Revolution’ runs from November 20, 2021 to May 8, 2022 at the ‘Victoria & Albert Museum’. #neonurchin #neonurchinblog #dedicatedtothethingswelove #suzyurchin #ollyurchin #art #music #photography #fashion #film #design #words #pictures #eastereggs #imperialeggs #ibelongtotheking #alexanderpalace #moscowkremlinegg #tsaralexanderIII #romanovdynasty #carlfabergé #vam #london #fabergéinlondonromancetorevolution (at Victoria and Albert Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUMvzr8stAi/?utm_medium=tumblr

Fabergéous The largest ‘Imperial' egg made by Peter Carl Fabergé will go on show at the ‘Victoria and Albert Museum’ later this year in an exhibition dedicated to the celebrated Russian goldsmith whose lavish and elegant creations are synonymous with opulence. Fabergé’s workshops in Moscow and St Petersburg, which employed more than 500 craftsmen at the end of the 19th century, are known for their fantastic ‘Easter’ eggs made for the Russian Imperial court: Fabergé was appointed the Imperial goldsmith in 1885. Tsar Alexander III began the most expensive Easter tradition in history when he decided to give a jewelled egg to his wife, Empress Maria Fyodorovna, in 1885. Known as the ‘Hen Egg’ its white enamelled shell opens to reveal a yolk whose yellow mass is crafted from gold. From 1895, the royal heir Nicholas II continued to honour the family matriarchs, presenting Fabergé eggs annually to both his wife, Empress Alexandra Fyodorovna, and his mother Maria. The ‘V&A' exhibition will also go into great detail about Fabergé’s London branch, the only one outside Russia, which opened at the turn of the 20th century. Royal patronage was key to the brand’s success; the London venue sold more than 10,000 objects between 1903 and 1915, with King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra among its clients. ‘Fabergé in London: Romance to Revolution’ runs from November 20, 2021 to May 8, 2022 at the ‘Victoria & Albert Museum’. #neonurchin #neonurchinblog #dedicatedtothethingswelove #suzyurchin #ollyurchin #art #music #photography #fashion #film #design #words #pictures #eastereggs #imperialeggs #ibelongtotheking #alexanderpalace #moscowkremlinegg #tsaralexanderIII #romanovdynasty #carlfabergé #vam #london #fabergéinlondonromancetorevolution (at Victoria and Albert Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUMvt2LMXV2/?utm_medium=tumblr
