About the Designer:
The only daughter of Theodore Carl Fabergé and Tatiana née Cheremeteff, Tatiana Fabergé was born in Geneva in 1930. Her father was the third son of Peter Carl Fabergé and her mother a Princess from Georgia. In the early 1950s, she studied jewelry design in Paris and maintained close contact with her uncles Eugene and Alexander Fabergé, who ran Fabergé & Cie. Her uncles provided her with invaluable first-hand information about the history of the House of Fabergé in Imperial Russia. For a significant period afterward, she worked directly alongside her father, designing precious heritage objects that were masterfully crafted in design hubs across Geneva, Paris, and Milan.

She dedicated her life to researching the Fabergé history and promoting its legacy. In 2007, the family successfully restored the Fabergé name to its rightful historical position as a leading purveyor of enduring personal treasures, with Tatiana and her cousins becoming founding members of the new Fabergé Limited’s Heritage Council. This signed, certified crystal box represents a rare opportunity to own a piece of her enduring design legacy, making it a spectacular focal piece for high-end traditional, eclectic, or dark academia interiors.
