Description
The House of Fabergé: A Legacy of Luxury and Innovation Carl Fabergé's name is synonymous with luxury, but his story extends far beyond his exquisite jeweled and enameled objects. This beautifully illustrated book explores the history and legacy of Fabergé, from its origins in Russia to global recognition. At the heart of Fabergé's success was a unique blend of entrepreneurial vision, innovative material sourcing, and technical ability. The London branch, opened in 1903, became a hub for Edwardian high society and an international clientele, showcasing over 120 pieces, including delicate flowers and Imperial Easter eggs. Featuring contributions from leading experts, this book celebrates the enduring fascination with Fabergé's masterful works. With its stunning color illustrations, Fabergé: Romance to Revolution offers a fresh perspective on this iconic craftsman's legacy, shedding light on the lesser-known story of the London branch and its role in shaping the House of Fabergé.
