Carl Faberge



Carl Faberge is a pretty famous metal worker. He is most know for making these Easter eggs every year for the Tsar who then gave them to his wife. They are very intricate and beautiful. A lot of the eggs open up, like the top one which had a miniature of the palace. It is really fascinating to think of the fact that these are "eggs" but he spare no expense in the materials he used. These photos are just a tiny view of the many eggs that he actually made. Carl did more than just eggs, but this is what he is most know for.
