Artist
One of the greatest craftsmen of his time, Peter Carl Fabergé was the creator of marvellous works epitomising creative genius and impeccable craftsmanship. The son of jeweller Gustav Fabergé, founder of the eponymous firm, Carl studied jewellery under his father’s guidance and subsequently furthered his studies in Frankfurt, Dresden and Florence. At his return in St. Petersburg he began working for the Fabergé firm under the supervision of Hiskias Pendin, taking complete management of the firm at age 24, after Pendin’s death.
