Tatiana Fabergé, the great-granddaughter of Peter Carl Fabergé, pens the foreward; and Dorothy McFerrin shares her insights on compiling one of the world?s most significant private collections of Fabergé in less than a decade. The essays in the book include comments and research by internationally recognized Fabergé experts: Peter L. Schaffer, Dr. Géza von Habsburg, Alice Milica Ilich, Dr. Ulla Tillander-Godenhielm, Matthew Stuart-Lyon, Christel Ludewig McCanless, Daniel Brière, Annemiek Wintraecken, Dr. Mark Schaffer, and John Atzbach. The court jeweler for the Romanov family, Fabergé is renowned for his breathtaking Imperial Easter Eggs, royal jewels, and objets d?art. Yet perhaps just as fascinating are the wonderful everyday objects he created for the wealthy patrons of Europe?cigarette cases, scent bottles, frames, clocks, small desk items, fans, cufflinks, handbags, and more. The McFerrin Collection comprises breathtaking and rare examples of a wide variety of Fabergé?s creations, including important cigarette cases once owned by Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna, Imperial presentation snuffboxes from Tsar Nicholas II, the dazzling Empress Josephine Tiara, ornate Fire Screen Frame, and legendary Easter eggs including the Imperial Diamond Trellis Egg, Kelch Rocaille Egg, and Nobel Ice Egg. This stunning selection of Fabergé objects invites the reader to experience the extravagance, luxury, splendor, and opulence of Imperial Russia.

Download or read book Faberg written by Tatiana Fabergé and published by Editions Slatkine. This book was released on 2012 with total page 613 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A ce jour plus de 3000 livres ont été publiés sur Carl Fabergé, la plupart d'auteurs se contentant de répéter systématiquement les mêmes choses et de mentionner les mêmes légendes et histoires. La majorité de ces ouvrages se basent sur les informations fournies par Eugène Carlovich Fabergé dans les années 30 ou H.C. Bainbridge, le premier à avoir écrit une biographie sur Carl Fabergé en 1949. L'incapacité d'acquérir du matériel conséquent avait comme impact auprès des érudits qu'ils ne pouvaient pas vérifier leur travail. Des lettres écrites par le Tsar, des factures Fabergé, des documents du Cabinet ou des inventaires des Bolcheviks ont été cachés en Russie depuis la Révolution. D'autres documents, comme les actes/dossiers de la famille Fabergé passés d'une génération à l'autre, n'étaient pas accessibles aux chercheurs. Ces dossiers contiennent entre autres des livres de caisse, des listes de marchandises confisquées pendant la période soviétique à Saint Petersbourg et Moscou, ainsi qu'une collection photographique comprenant notamment le service de table en argent fabriqué par Fabergé Moscou pour le grand industriel Alexander Kelkh. Pendant dix ans, les auteurs de cet ouvrage ont consulté et étudié ces archives inédites. Ce livre extraordinaire comprend une abondante iconographie et des documents approuvés, la plupart inédits à ce jour. Ce manuel est un chef-d'oeuvre, LE livre de référence sur l'histoire fascinante de la Maison Fabergé.
