Here is a piece from Russian NIVA magazine of the period:
“Faberge, whose workshop exists since 1842, was able to train several workmasters within the last 12 years, who under his leadership, were able to produce a whole collection of jewelry in the Greek style for the Moscow exhibition, which raised public attention and was praised by Their Majesties. Her Majesty made Faberge happy by buying a pair of Greek-style cufflinks”.
