    What Fabergé eggs symbolize is largely a matter of individual interpretation.

    Arne Jacobsen invented the Egg chair. Designed in 1958 for the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, it is a Scandinavian classic that has over the years become a fixture of corporate offices. The Egg chair is notable for its overtly organic appearance, which Jacobsen achieved with craft-based padding and upholstery finishing. Unlike the furniture maker's previous range of shell chairs designed in laminated wood for Fritz Hansen, the Egg reflected a soulful new vision of modernity. Its finished shells were made of fiberglass-reinforced polyurethane foam, padded with cast latex foam rubber and then upholstered with leather (or, in the cost-conscious hotel's case, fabric). Shop a range of Arne Jacobsen Egg chairs on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022

  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
    Fabergé eggs are valuable for a number of reasons. Peter Carl Fabergé only produced 69 of them, and their original owners were members of the Russian royal family. The precious metals and gemstones used to handcraft the eggs also add to their value. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of Fabergé jewelry.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 24, 2024
    To tell a fake Egg chair, look for its tag. Chairs produced in 2010 or later will have a red tag, while older pieces will display a brown one. Although the tag designs have changed over the years, nearly all Egg chairs show the correct “Republic of Fritz Hansen” logo. Some will also feature a serial number, which you can cross-reference with information shared on trusted online resources for authentication purposes. Next, look at the stitching on the upholstery. If you notice any creasing, folds or wrinkles, your chair is likely a knockoff. Finally, get a measuring tape or use a smartphone measuring app to check the dimensions of your chair. An authentic Egg chair will measure 42.1 inches (107 centimeters) high by 33.9 inches (86 centimeters) wide, with a seat height of 14.6 inches (37 centimeters). Chairs that don't fit these specifications are unlikely to be real. When in doubt, consider having a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer provide you with a professional opinion. Shop a range of Arne Jacobsen Egg chairs on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021
    A marble egg is considered to be a symbol of life and rebirth and is given as a gift to wish for prosperity. Prices for a marble egg can differ depending upon size, period, and other attributes. You can find a large collection of antique and vintage marble eggs on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 15, 2024
    How much Fabergé eggs are worth depends on their age, condition and other factors. One of the most valuable examples is the Third Imperial Egg, produced in 1887, which has an estimated value of $33.1 million. The House of Fabergé is best known for creating the lavishly ornate and intricately devised Imperial Easter eggs given by the last czars to their families as annual holiday gifts, but it was also the most prestigious Russian luxury goods maker of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. If you own any Fabergé pieces, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can provide you with an estimate of their value.

    The original Egg chair was designed by Arne Jacobsen for the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen in 1958. It was notable for its overtly organic appearance, which Jacobsen achieved with craft-based padding and upholstery finishing. With the Egg chair, Jacobsen continued his ongoing experimentation with synthetic materials. First, he devised small-scale clay models in his garage. The prototypes' finished shells were made of fiberglass-reinforced polyurethane foam, padded with cast latex foam rubber and then upholstered with leather — or, in the cost-conscious hotel’s case, fabric. Today, the Egg chair is supported by welded steel tubing and is mounted on a lightweight aluminum base. Shop a selection of vintage Egg chairs on 1stDibs.

    The first Fabergé egg was commissioned by Emperor Alexander III as a gift for his wife. The egg opens to reveal a gold yolk, which then opens to reveal a gold hen. The hen then opened to reveal a replica of the Imperial Crown containing a ruby pendant within it. Both the crown and pendant have been missing for many years and are only known about because of an old photo. You can find a selection of Fabergé on 1stDibs.
