Faberge reputation rests on his achievements in creating the collection of Faberge eggs series - the result of an act of sponsorship large scale by Russian imperial family. The Committee on Faberge imperial order, the supplier of the imperial court gave him the freedom to ignore the problems of cost and time and focus on the challenge of creating something spectacular new year, a challenge he met a great success.

The origin of the greatest success and fame can be attributed to Faberge Easter egg given by tsar each Easter as gifts to the Empress. This custom apparently originated in 1885 when the first Fabergé egg was commissioned by Tsar Alexander III to the Empress Maria Feodorovna. I was so happy with the result that from now gave Faberge orders for an Easter egg each similar. After the death of Alexander III in 1894, his son Nicolas II continued the custom. Now ordered two Easter eggs each, one for the mother of the Empress and the other for the new Czarina Alexandra Feodorovna, their wife. As symbols of creation and new life, eggs have been exchanged at Easter, the celebration of the two plants in Eastern and Western Christian churches, hundreds of years. Across Europe, the eggs were colored and made of natural gifts. During the eighteenth century, the practice of creating Egg glass, porcelain, wood, plaster and precious metals and jewelry began.

In the egg, the surprise is a songbird who was born in the press a button on top of the gold egg-shaped, enamel, and the pendulum clock with precious stones. Other surprises in these eggs ranged from miniature Imperial Family (the Red Cross egg with photos) to a model train in precious metals (the Trans-Siberian eggs).

Apparently a total of fifty-four eggs Fabergé Imperial were produced by Fabergé King of Sweden and Norway. At the Paris International Exhibition 1900 Faberge universally exhibited his competition (out of competition), because he was a juror. Faberge imperial eggs all who had hitherto done as well as many other objects of art exhibition in Paris at that time.

Leopold de Rothschild also purchased quantities of Faberge objects to give several pieces glazed in racing colors dark blue and yellow. Bainbridge reports that: "Except in rare cases I can not agree to buy anything themselves Edwardian ladies themselves: who obtained their Fabergé objects as gifts for men, and these gifts are purely for the psychological moment. When this happened, ie the time royal grant, was completed the mission for which they did. "
