Major American collectors, such as Marjorie Merriweather Post, played a significant role in Fabergé's fame after the fall of the imperial regime, and Post’s mansion at Hillwood in Washington, DC, now houses a collection of ninety objects that includes two imperial Easter eggs, silver, jewelry, hardstone, and religious items.
