Synopsis
The works of Carl Faberge are among the world's outstanding artistic treasures. Imperial Jeweller to the Russian court, Faberge enjoyed acclaim across Europe: a status epitomized by his creation of a miniature replica of the Russian crown jewels for the 1900 Paris Exposition: from 4,000 diamonds. This comprehensive and illustrated study presents Faberge's legacy in the context of his position and his patrons. The famed Imperial Easter eggs for Tsars Alexander III and Nicholas II represented only a fraction of his workshops' output: he also made gems and mementoes for Nicholas II's coronation in 1896, pieces for honoured visitors, and scores of works for the Romanov tercentenary in 1913. His work for European royalty included tiny hardstone animals for Queen Alexandra of England, wine coolers for Christian IX and Queen Louise of Denmark, jewelled flowers in crystal vases and cigarette cases "Faberge: Imperial Jeweller" is published in conjunction with an exhibition at the Hermitage Museum, St Petersburg, the Musee des Arts Decoratifs, Paris, and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. More than 350 objects and drawings are reproduced, nearly half from Russia and little known in the West. Twelve scholars contribute their insights.

FABERGE: IMPERIAL JEWELLER.
Seller: Sell Books, Elland, YORKS, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
paperback. Condition: Very Good. Most of our very good books have only minor imperfections such as shelf wear consistent with a new book that's sat on a bookshop shelf for a year or two. Occasionally we may miss other minor imperfections as we have to grade books at speed. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
