LSUE Hosts World Famous Designer of Faberge Replica Eggs
On Sept 25, the LSUE Foundation and Friends of the LeDoux Library hosted a lecture and exhibition of Objets D’Art highlighting the art designs and replica Fabergé eggs that I have been designing and creating for the past 20 years. These are truly labors of love with each design taking up to three years from start to finish.
Some of the Vivian Alexander eggs were on display with each egg possessing its own unique quality. The gem-encrusted Renaissance Egg valued at $35,000 (one of my personal favorites) was among those showcased. Other featured eggs included the Smirnoff Egg which was requested by the Smirnoff Company and designed with brilliant red and silver designs, a replica of the Rothschild Egg – a clock egg — and the Imperial Coronation egg – a brilliant gold egg placed inside a larger egg — used as a prop in the Warner Brothers movie, “Ocean’s 12.”
Several of these art pieces are currently on display in the LeDoux Library’s reading room.
