OF CULTURAL ARTIFACTS
Heredis translates documented research into high-fidelity digital form: geometry, material systems, mechanisms, light and motion.

reconstruction
how a reconstruction is build
Geometry is developed against the evidence map and reference dimensions recorded in the project dossier. Inferred elements remain identifiable in the working record.
GEOMETRY TRACED TO EVIDENCE
Metal alloys, guilloché, enamel, gemstones and surface wear are constructed as interacting physical systems, not painted effects.
MATERIAL SYSTEMS
Historical stone cuts and material finishes are reproduced according to their documented geometry and optical behaviour.
PERIOD OPTICS
Hinges, rotating mounts, automata and concealed surprises are modelled as functional assemblies where the evidence permits.
WORKING MECHANISMS
Presentation lighting is developed with reference to the conditions in which the original object was intended to be seen.
DIRECTED HISTORICAL LIGHT
Every object is built as an assembly of components, mounts, joints and internal structures.
CONSTRUCTION LOGIC

For Heredis, museum-grade denotes a reconstruction whose evidence, interpretive decisions, authorship, version history, rights and preservation requirements are documented as part of the work itself. The term describes a defined working standard; it does not imply museum endorsement.

Fifty-two Imperial Fabergé eggs were created for the Russian court — unparalleled masterpieces gifted to Empress Maria Feodorovna and Empress Alexandra Feodorovna.
After the revolution of 1917, many of these treasures were sold abroad, stolen, or melted down by the Bolsheviks.
Six Imperial eggs remain lost to this day. Which means the world may never behold them again.
Our work is dedicated to detailed, museum-grade reconstruction — crafted to preserve and resurrect what history erased.
By combining archival research, art historical expertise, and state-of-the-art digital technologies, we bring these vanished masterpieces back to life with precision and respect for their original context.
Through this process, silence becomes form — and absence becomes presence.
