Fabergé eggs are exquisite jeweled objects created by the Russian House of Fabergé, primarily for the Russian Imperial family between 1885 and 1917. Each egg was a masterpiece of enamelwork, precious metals, and gemstones, designed as Easter gifts for the Tsarina and her family. These eggs often contained surprise mechanical treasures inside—tiny golden carriages, portraits, or music boxes—making them among the most coveted objets d'art in the world. The intricate surface textures and layered materials of these eggs inspired countless needlework interpretations, each attempting to capture the luminous, jeweled quality of the originals through thread and counted stitches.
