Faberge: Romance to Revolution

Featuring over 120 objects, celebrate the enduring fascination with this master craftsman’s works.
The name Fabergee has long been a byword for luxury. Combining an entrepreneurial vision for craftsmanship with innovative material sourcing and technical ability, Carl Fabergee 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 Fabergee , 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 the choice destination for Edwardian high society and an international clientele. Featuring over 120 objects, from delicate flowers to Imperial Easter eggs, and with contributions from leading experts, Fabergee – A Russian Love Affair celebrates the enduring fascination with this master craftsman’s works.
