A National Opening of the Commemorative Tablet in Honor of the 165 Anniversary of Carl Faberge

December 6, 2011 

On December 6, 2011, a memorial plaque was solemnly unveiled in Kyiv in honor of the renowned jeweler of the 19th–20th centuries, Carl Gustav Fabergé.
The ceremony was attended by the Deputy Minister of Culture of Ukraine, the Deputy Head of the Kyiv City State Administration, other official representatives, and the patron of the project — Igor Lobortas, founder of the Classical Jewelry House "Lobortas." The author of the memorial plaque was the well-known Ukrainian sculptor Serhii Panchenko.

  The commemorative tablet in honor of XIX-XX centuries' great jeweler Carl Gustavovich Faberge.

The plaque was installed on the façade of the building at 15 Khreshchatyk Street — the same location (formerly No. 25) where Carl Fabergé’s workshop operated in the early 20th century. Exactly one hundred years later, the name of the great jeweler returned to the capital of Ukraine as a symbol of the unbroken connection between epochs, artistic continuity, and reverence for the traditions of high jewelry craftsmanship.

Today, Kyiv continues this rich jewelry heritage. Modern artists, drawing inspiration from the achievements of the past, are shaping a new artistic legacy for future generations.
