2. Carl Fabergé. 1846-1920.
3. Carl's youngest brother, Nicholas. Carl sent him to London to run the newly opened branch there. Nicholas begat (I always liked the word begat), Theo, via his mistress, Doris Claddish, while married to another woman.
4. The Fabergé establishment in Moscow.
5. Fabergé workshop. A high temperature furnace is indicated by the letter "F". It is obviously fed by a gas line as indicated by the letter "G".
6. Theo Fabergé.1922-2007.
7. Sarah Fabergé. Born in 1958. She still runs the family jewelry business started by her own father, Theo. That business makes jeweled eggs and other objet d'art that are prized in their own right.
