Empress Maria Fyodorovna described Fabergé as “an incomparable true genius of our times”.

Henry Bainbridge, who was the London manager of Fabergé's shop on the corner of Dover Street and Piccadilly, described a typical day at the office: "It was here, quite unknown to the passing crowds in Piccadilly, that Kings put aside their crowns, that ambassadors, maharajas and magnates of all kinds, gay lords, grave lords, law-lords, and the lords of the daily press ... cast off their chains of office and ... spent a cool and refreshing half hour".

Bainbridge went on to say: "Taking him all in all, Fabergé came as near to a complete understanding of human nature as it is possible for a man to come, with one word only inscribed on his banner, and that word – tolerance. There is no doubt whatsoever that this consideration for the worth of others was the foundation for his success".

The art critic Sacheverell Sitwell touched on its history: "When you touch or hold a Fabergé object, you are in contact with something, coming down to you, not only from the era of the Tsars, but an ancestry far more ancient.... It is Russian, and could be nothing else".

Lady Victoria Sackville talked of Edwardian aristocracy and celebrity: "You meet just everyone at Faberge".

The chief designer for Faberge's workshops, Francois Birbaum observed that the orders from England possessed: "greater simplicity of form and more restrained ornamentation, with special attention being paid to the technical finish".

The British politician Lord Frederic Hamilton made this observation of the Fabergé attention to detail: "A stone must be very perfect to satisfy the critical Russian eye, and, true to their Oriental blood, the ladies preferred unfaceted rubies, sapphires and emeralds".

Queen Mary, the wife of England’s King George V was impressed to say: "There is one thing about all Fabergé pieces, they are all so satisfying".
