Muut tiedot
During the First World War, Fabergé produced an impressive range of objects with a diversity not usually associated with the jeweller’s workshops. In response to the austerity of wartime, the company created everything from bowls and cigarette cases to kitchen utensils such as field samovars and cooking pots. These items were stamped with the Fabergé name and inscribed “War 1914.”
The objects, intended as small gifts, were often commissioned by the government and presented by Tsar Nicholas II to soldiers and officers of the Imperial Army.
These practical and historically significant objects, which form an important part of the company’s history, were made from less precious metals such as copper, brass, and steel.
