Faberge : Romance to Revolution, Hardback Book

Faberge : Romance to Revolution Hardback

Edited by Kieran McCarthy, Hanne Faurby

Hardback

Description

The name Faberge has long been a byword for luxury.

Combining an entrepreneurial vision for craftsmanship with innovative material sourcing and technical ability, Carl Faberge created an astonishing array of bespoke jewelled and enamelled objects at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century. This beautifully illustrated book explores the history and legacy of the House of Faberge, from its origins in Russia - and its role in the glamorous world of the Romanovs - to global recognition.

Much of the story is familiar, but less well known is the important part played by the London branch.

Opened in 1903, and the only one outside Russia, it became a choice destination for Edwardian high society and an international clientele.

Featuring over 120 pieces, from delicate flowers to Imperial Easter eggs, and with contributions from leading experts Faberge: Romance to Revolution celebrates the enduring fascination with this master craftsman's works.
