Wartski, founded in 1865, is the world's pre-eminent dealer in the work of Carl Fabergé, the Russian Court jeweller.[1] It holds a Royal Warrant from Queen Camilla and famously sold the rediscovered Third Imperial Easter Egg in 2014.[1] A Wartski case or a Fabergé mark turns a piece into something genuinely rare — and authenticity is everything.
What is Wartski / Fabergé?
Wartski specialises in antique jewellery and precious metalwork, above all Fabergé — guilloché enamel over engine-turned gold, set with rose-cut diamonds and cabochon gems, across brooches, pendants, cufflinks, cigarette cases and objets de vertu. Genuine Fabergé carries Russian assay marks (56/72 zolotnik), the Fabergé name in Cyrillic and a workmaster's initials; Wartski pieces may carry the firm's case or retail marks.
