The House of Fabergé was a jewelry firm founded in 1842 in Saint Petersburg, Russia, by Gustav Fabergé (usually known simply as Fabergé), and achieved its greatest prominence when designing elaborate jewel-encrusted Fabergé eggs for Russian emperors, as well as being renowned for a range of other work of high quality and intricate detail. By the time Gustav died the company was famous throughout Europe and catered to the crowned heads of many countries, and his sons and grandsons followed him in running the business until the October Revolution in 1917, leading his sons Alexander and Eugene to reestablished the company as Fabergé & Cie in Paris, France in 1924. In 1951 rights to the Fabergé brand name for the marketing of perfume were bought by Samuel Rubin, who called his company Fabergé Inc. and eventually sold it to cosmetics firm Rayette Inc. in 1964, and as the brand was resold and restructured many more times companies using the Fabergé name launched clothing lines, the cologne Brut (which became the best-selling cologne at the time), the perfume Babe, hair products, and also undertook film production. Today there are several museums dedicated to Fabergé around the world, and many of their items have fetched record-breaking sums at auctions.
