Harrods, the world’s most famous department store, and the iconic artist jeweller Fabergé, come together for a creative collaboration this Easter. “Fabergé Easter” will see an exquisite Fabergé salon and exhibition space set up in Harrods, with the famed Brompton Road windows and façade dressed in Fabergé flags, telling the story of the legendary jewellery house. “A Fabergé Easter at Harrods” will run from 1st to 21st April 2014. AN EXQUISITE PAST – AN INSPIRED FUTURE
The collaboration will celebrate the art of gifting, which is at the heart of both prestigious names. The
window displays will showcase the fascinating world of Fabergé from its famed Imperial Easter Eggs and
glittering Royal clientele, to today’s contemporary jewellery creations. From its inception, the pioneering
jewellery house created pieces that delighted some of the world’s most refined clientele, such as the
Russian Imperial Court. Fabergé soon became the jeweller du jour for the international nobility and
aristocracy of the time, and the gift of choice for special family occasions and official royal visits. The
windows will trace the story of these memorable gifts and their illustrious recipients. Harrods is
celebrated as the ultimate destination for gift buyers, and so the art of gifting continues today with the
“Fabergé Easter” collaboration. HISTORIC FABERGÉ EXHIBITION
Fabergé and Harrods continue to make history this Easter by exhibiting a rare masterpiece, an original
Fabergé Egg – The Apple Blossom Egg, together with other historic Fabergé treasures. This Egg was
designed in 1901 and is beautifully crafted in gold, diamonds and nephrite. This is the very first time
these rare masterpieces will be exhibited in the UK and in a non–museum environment.
FABERGÉ SALON
A luxurious Fabergé salon will house the jewellery collection of one-of-a-kind, collectible pieces designed
for Fabergé by Parisian artist jeweller Frédéric Zaavy. The much coveted collection will be showcased in
its entirety for the first time since its creation, as a tribute to the late Frédéric Zaavy.
