The Imperial Easter Eggs of Carl Fabergé

Sun 18 July  |  Crown Hotel  |  2.30pm

The jewellery firm Fabergé famously made bejewelled Easter eggs for the Tsarinas of Russia. The character and decadence of the eggs reflected the characters of the empresses who received them. But the story of the Imperial jewels is also the story of a lost empire, the Russian Revolution, and the classic tragedy of the Romanovs. Toby Faber, author of the definitive book on Fabergé’s Eggs, shares his knowledge on this sparkling story as part of our lecture series.

Tickets: £8 Unreserved

“…a fascinating story which combines unique decorative art, contemporary culture, history, and the murder of the Romanovs with the excitement of a crime novel.”
Novelist, P. D. James
