This announcement reverses the fragmentation of Fabergé over the last 90 years and sets the stage for a new generation of authentic Fabergé designs.
Tatiana Fabergé (great-granddaughter Peter Carl Fabergé) said: 'I have dreamed of this moment for decades. It has been my life's ambition to restore the unsurpassed standards of design and workmanship that characterised my great-grandfather's treasures.
Now, finally, we have the basis for fulfilling this ambition. I am very pleased to be a part of one of the most significant developments in Fabergé's history.' Sarah Fabergé (great-granddaughter Peter Carl Fabergé) said 'This constitutes the reunification of the House of Fabergé and a new chapter in its history. My father, Theo Fabergé, grandson of Peter Carl Fabergé, passed away on 20th August 2007.
It is poignant that, only days before he died, both he and I entered into the arrangements reuniting the family and the Fabergé name.' Tatiana and Sarah Fabergé, together with Mr John Andrew (a long-standing friend of the Fabergé family), make up the founding members of the new Fabergé Heritage Council.
It will counsel the unified Fabergé in its pursuit of excellence and exclusivity. Theo Fabergé became a member shortly before he died and he will be assigned a Memorial Seat on the Fabergé Heritage Council.
Dr Géza von Habsburg, one of the world's leading Fabergé experts, has been appointed as Curatorial Director and is developing aseries of Fabergé exhibitions for 2009.
Mr Dunhill has resigned from his position as President of Alfred Dunhill Ltd. He joined Alfred Dunhill in 1994. Having started in product development, he became General Manager Malaysia in 1997 which expanded to include managerial functions in India and Singapore.
