Description

This dazzling documentary tells the epic story of the Fabergé family, from Imperial Russia to present day, spanning 150 years of turbulent history, romance and artistic endeavour. From the priceless Fabergé eggs lavished on the Romanov Tsarinas to the Russian revolution to modern-day auction houses in New York and London, Fabergé: A Life of Its Own explores a multi-faceted world that began with one man: the prodigiously talented Peter Carl Fabergé, Court Jeweller of St. Petersburg, and one of Europe’s finest craftsmen. Sumptuously shot at locations across Russia, the United States and Europe (including the collection of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II), the film features interviews with the world's foremost Fabergé authorities, as well as personal reminiscences from Fabergé family members. Experience the wonder of seeing the exquisite artistry behind Fabergé’s stunning objects on the big screen for the first time, including a recently discovered lost treasure and Fabergé’s first new creation in almost 100 years.
