All Things Faberge.....
I've always been interested in the beautiful craftmanship that went into the Faberge creations. Actually it still does as the official Faberge Company is still creating masterful works in jewelry. This lens tells a bit about the history and has a large list of books available on the subject. I hope you enjoy looking through it.

A Brief History
Peter Carl Fabergé also known as Carl Gustavovich Fabergé was born in Russia on May 18, 1846 at St. Petersburg, Russia and lived to be 74 years old until his passing in September 24, 1920 in Lausanne, Switzerland. He was a Russian goldsmith, jeweler, and designer. Educated in Europe and England, he took over his father's jewelry business in St. Petersburg in 1870. The objects he designed quickly won him the patronage of European and Russian royalty. Specializing in gold, silver, malachite, jade, lapis lazuli, and gemstones, he manufactured not only conventional jewelry but objects of fantasy, much of it inspired by the decorative arts of the Louis XVI style. He opened workshops in Moscow, Kiev, and London and became most famous for his jeweled Easter eggs for Alexander III and Nicholas II. His workshops were shut down after the 1917 revolution, and he died in exile. Great Faberge Stuff on Amazon

- I had no idea that there were so many books about Faberge and I did not know they made other items than the eggs. Which are my favorite. Thank you for sharing this information.
