Book Overview

In this volume, a selection of Faberge eggs - fantasies created by the House of Faberge to divert the Russian imperial family - are presented larger than life-size. The jewelled, enamelled and gold decorations and the whimsical surprises hidden inside - tiny singing birds, miniature portraits, flower baskets, crowing roosters - can be examined in detail.

The perfect foil to the exhibit

While in Moscow, we were able to see the traveling exhibition of Faberge eggs and pick up this book. The exhibition itself was stunning - the individual settings were chosen especially for the particular egg, the accompanying commentary intriguing, the lighting spectacular. The only thing that compared to the eggs themselves was this book which is one of the best of its type. It is large and the photographs and descriptions lush. One is transported back in time to the days of Tsars and Orthodoxy and the now disappeared Russian craftsmanship. This is a must for your coffee table.

Gorgeous!

This book is amazing! The oversized photos are mezmorizing. I am a collector of the small egg charms used in the Czarina's Maria Feodorovna's necklace. I was thrilled to see photos of many of the egg charms I own. I love this book!

very good. The photos are beautiful.

I couldn't ask for a better Faberge book. Exepting those by my freind Geza Von Habsburg.

The best photographic reproductions of Faberge designs.

An exquisite book, large format. Beautiful color plates. If you get one book on Faberge for the quality of its plates, this is it.
