Carl Faberge: Goldsmith to the Imperial Court of Russia

Marvellous images of fabulous eggs, animals , ornaments, jewellery and all the other crafts that came out of the Russian firm Faberge in the turn of the 20th Century with thorough descriptions and back story for the people who spend their lives working on the most detailed beautiful pieces in recent history. Not an epic but a succinct look at the history of the Jewellers workshops and the magical creations they made.

battered and cover torn not at all what i expected, but interested in subject

Incisive book, loved the details. A good starting point on Faberge. Loved the little animal carvings and the story behind them.

Excellent

Another fascinating book on an extraordinary man an his company.

Too many black and white photos

Excellent for those interested in the subject.
