Russian jeweller famous for its objets d’art and, in particular, its enamelling. The Fabergé family heritage hails to seventeenth-century France. Expulsed from the region when Louis XIV revoked the Edicts of Nantes in 1685, the Fabergés wandered across Europe for two centuries before finally settling in St. Petersburg, Russia. In 1842, Gustav Fabergé opened a small jewellery shop in the city. Having previously apprenticed at the prestigious Keibel, he was a competent goldsmith, and business prospered.
