Think Faberge, and what comes to mind are images of fabulous, glittering jewelry, the mystery and allure of Europe's great royal courts and, of course, the magnificent Imperial Easter Eggs made for the Russian Tsars. Carl Faberge was, first and foremost, a goldsmith, and the exquisite objects that came out of the Faberge workshop at its peak represent the ultimate refinement of the goldsmith's art. Each piece was designed with the express purpose of bringing joy to its recipient. Accomplishments of the Faberge workshop were not limited to precious metals and lapidary work. Their enameling techniques consistently attained a subtlety adn brilliance of technique that had rarely been matched elsewhere - the work glows with richly colored enamels used with unrivaled virtuosity.… (más)

The pictures are wonderful but sometimes wish that they were larger or more detailed. That being said the text is good and the author goes into very great detail in regards to each of the items pictured. If your looking for very detailed information on pieces this would be a good book, for just reading not as much. Great to just flip through and look at the pictures though. ( )

This book has plenty of interesting information in the text, particularly if you're looking for something on the more technical side of things, but it's real value is in the pictures. While sometimes the captions described an interior I wished I could see but couldn't and the scale was often hard to establish, there is still a gluttony of fantastic workmanship to feast your eyes on and seeing these pieces does more to illustrate the material wealth and decadence of Imperialist Russia than any amount of textbook passages or facts and figures could.

This was my all time favourite in college. I was in love with what Faberge did to amalgamate artisan traditions and metallurgy from Medieval and Baroque times to achieve an advanced cosmopolitan style that captivated the imaginations of Tsars and Tsarinas and nobility for generations. I theorized though how that subjugated the once noble artisan to a systematized 'manufacturing' and retailing process and came to symbolize the tyranny of the bureaucracy against the once mighty and creative individual, contributing to the Marxist/Leninist experiment to fix that problem, and the ironic symbolism of Faberge for a failed narrative of the theocratically ordained imperial monarchy that had to eat its own breakfast after 2 millennia. I wrote my senior thesis on that for Art History. Loved every minute of it. ( )
