A WEALTH OF INFORMATION AND JEWELS!

Born in 1846 in St. Petersburg, Russia, perhaps little at his birth, save for his father's profession as a jeweler, presaged the intricately exquisite art objects that Carl Faberge would someday create. In fact, the earliest products of his house have been described as "somewhat clumsy gold bracelets." Today his name is synonymous with the incomparably beautiful. Famous for his jewel adorned Imperial Easter eggs, Faberge the artisan produced so much more - jewelry, picture frames, presentation boxes, cigarette cases. More than 300 stunning full-color pages bring these treasures to us. The text is impeccably researched and written.
