It has been over fifty years since the celebrated Faberge Workshops closed their doors forever - but the Faberge name still holds a special significance in high quality art and craftsmanship - Once these workshops were the goldsmiths and jewellers used by the Czars of Russia - they were creators of exquisite art objects for European Royalty and other wealthy patrons - Peter Carl Faberge held the highest standards and had the most complex imagination which linked him to the great artist-craftsman of earlier centuries - compared to our age of machines and mass production, fine craftsmanship is rarely, if ever, encountered. No one could be better qualified to reveal the unique story of Faberge's life and rise to fame, than his early personal friend and manager of the London Branch on Dover Street of the Faberge offices, Henry Charles Bainbridge author of this fine book.
