The term FANCY-EGG MAKER is a reference to the Russian jeweller and goldsmith Peter Carl Faberge, who is best known for creating the famous Faberge eggs. Faberge was commissioned by Tsar Alexander III of Russia to create the first egg in 1885, and he went on to create a total of 50 eggs for the royal family. These eggs were highly intricate and ornate, and they remain some of the most iconic works of art from the late 19th century.
