Faberge: Treasures of Imperial Russia by Geza von Habsburg (Book)

About the Item

Collectible out-of-print edition! This magnificent publication presented in a slipcase is dedicated both to the life of jewellery genius Carl Faberge and the world-famous collection, including nine Imperial Easter eggs, of his work originally amassed by the American industrialist Malcolm Forbes and now acquired and returned to Russia by the Link of Times Cultural Historical Foundation. The Introduction provides an illustrated history of the House of Faberge and the historical background against which the company developed, including its relationships with the Imperial Family and the designers who joined the Faberge brothers in their thriving business. Each of the treasures of the collection is then described, together with stunning photographs of each item as a whole and in detail. All the descriptive texts and provenances are written by Gerard Hill, director of Sotheby's Russian department. Text Russian & English. 351 pages. 3800 grams.
