Built in 1900, the shop on Bolshaia Morskaia in St. Petersburg was one of the city's most fashionable and desirable locations, housing most of the main workshops. On the top floor was Carl's luxurious apartment. At its peak, the firm also had branches in Moscow, Odessa, London and Kiev.

Although Carl Faberge set the standards for the House of Faberge, he relied on his workmasters to execute the designs for the Imperial eggs with perfection. They were the finest goldsmiths and jewelers in Russia.
