Heritage Auctions to Sell Major Fabergé Collection on May 20
On May 20, 2026, Heritage Auctions will host 'Fabergé: A Gentleman’s Collection' during its Spring Signature Auction focused on Russian Works of Art. This auction showcases over 200 items from the House of Fabergé, marking it as one of the most remarkable private collections ever gathered. The collection highlights Fabergé’s most creative periods, from the company's inception to the final years of the Imperial era, and features a select number of works by notable predecessors and contemporaries. Importantly, several items still bear their original Fabergé inventory numbers, which are rare remnants linked to the firm's archives.
