Russian Easter Eggs
It is a Russian tradition
to create and use beautifully decorated eggs to symbolize life and
the promise of the future. Peter Carl Faberge, the world renowned
Russian court jeweler and purveyor of elegance to the Tsar, took this tradition to the highest of levels. Some would
say that he achieved perfection with his designs and production values.
We don't have the genuine article from the era of Peter Carl, but we do
offer a variety of unique and one-of-a-kind Russian eggs. Here you will
find exquisite hand-painted icon eggs, termed
ovo-art, depicting Jesus Christ, the Mother of God, and many of the holy
saints. Of course, we also
have a collection of fanciful folk art painted
eggs . And, getting back to Peter Carl Faberge, we have miniature bejeweled enamel egg boxes reminiscent
of classic Faberge designs.
