October 2006

• The Fabergé Arts Foundation (FAF) with offices in Washington (DC) and St. Petersburg, Russia, is actively engaged in assisting the Hermitage Museum in establishing a Fabergé Museum and Library in St. Petersburg. FAF invites you to view its recently updated web page.
  
  
• A list of 221 art objects which disappeared from the Hermitage Museum is posted on the museum’s official website. Several Fabergé objects with forged and true Fabergé marks are included in the list.
  
  
• The Russian journal Antikvarnoe includes articles by Valentin Skurlov on the variety of Fabergé stands on clocks, frames and thermometers (Issue no. 1, 2006), and an estimate by percentage of the various categories of objects made by the House of Fabergé between 1891-1917 (Issue no. 2, 2006).
  
  
• The reburial in St. Petersburg of Tsarina Marie Fedorovna for whom Fabergé made Easter eggs took place in September 2006. Photos and additional information about the event are available in Dutch and in English.
