Insomnia was fashionable in the Victorian era: "Having insomnia, or claiming to have it, lifted you from the dregs of humanity into a club that included Charles Dickens, Thomas Carlyle, Charlotte Brontë, Dante Gabriel Rossetti" & many more. #WorldSleepDay https://t.co/epZxiz8hiu

#OTD in 1741 Empress Elizabeth, daughter of Peter the Great, came to power. Here's a #funfact: she was quite the fashionista and changed outfits several times a day, never wearing the same one twice. Easy to do w 15,000 gowns! #todayinhistory #russianhistory #womenshistory https://t.co/Z9aeLYAm22

A nice little overview of #Faberge and news of exhibition at @walters_museum https://t.co/nKa7sGihZt "Several Fabergé eggs were sold at the New York antiques store A La Vieille Russie." ALVR inspired American interest in the great jeweler and helped form major collections.

We're halfway through #Movember and by now all of you strapping gents growing out your whiskers may be ready for some beard/stache accoutrement. If we were part of the no-shave party we'd pick this handsome little #mustache brush by #Fabergé from our archives! #Movember2017 https://t.co/cFPEmEbVMa
