Theo Fabergé

Life & Legacy

Theo Fabergé (26 September 1922 – 20 August 2007) was a grandson of Peter Carl Fabergé. His father Nicholas Fabergé, Carl's youngest son, arrived in London in 1906 to help run the only branch of the House of Fabergé outside Russia, on Dover Street in London. After 1917, Nicholas remained in London, and in 1922, his son Theo was born.
Like his grandfather did, Theo had a fascination with the techniques of ornamental turning, the art of deep-cut engraving and sculpting woods, ivories, gems and metals using precision lathes. This passion would lead to the creation of some of the most ornate and rare Fabergé eggs since the creation of the Imperial Fabergé Eggs by his grandfather.
