Questions About Egg And Dart
- What is a Fabergé egg?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022A Fabergé egg is an egg-shaped decorative accent produced by the jeweler Peter Carl Fabergé of the House of Fabergé or in his style. The original eggs were gifts for the Russian royal family. Find a large collection of Fabergé on 1stDibs.
- Are Fabergé eggs fragile?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022Yes, Fabergé eggs are fragile. They may break if dropped or handled too roughly. Because they are so delicate, several of the original Imperial eggs are no longer in existence. Fabergé produced 69, but only 57 remain. On 1stDibs, find a collection of Fabergé jewelry.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022Yes, there is one Fabergé egg in the collection of the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia. It is the Rothschild egg, made of gold and enamel. On the front of the egg is a clock. Shop a selection of Fabergé jewelry on 1stDibs.

- Who invented the Egg chair?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 22, 2024Arne 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.
- When did the Egg chair come out?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022The Egg chair came out in 1959. Danish designer Arne Jacobsen created it along with a number of other famous mid-century modern chairs, including the Series 7, the Swan and the Ant. Find a collection of Egg chairs on 1stDibs.

- How much are Fabergé eggs worth?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 15, 2024How 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.

- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022The 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.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023The 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.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022There are several different designs of egg-shaped chairs. Some of the most famous are Henrik Thor-Larsen’s Ovalia Egg Chair from 1968 and Arne Jacobsen’s Egg Chair from 1959. On 1stDibs, you’ll find a collection of egg-shaped chairs from some of the world’s top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 24, 2024To 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.
