DOWNLOAD EBOOKTake a journey through a remarkable array of Fabergé objects and glimpse the grandeur of 19th and early 20th century Imperial Russia. From a Snowflake to an Iceberg features approximately 325 pieces from The McFerrin Collection, on extended loan to the Houston Museum of Natural Science, accompanied by in-depth essays highlighting the collection and revealing the captivating history behind the objects. 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 EBOOKCarl Fabergé's popularity with the two Danish princesses Alexandra and her sister Dagmar, and their respective marriages into the English and Russian royal families, brought Fabergé's works to the notice of royalty across Europe, with the patronage of Alexandra's husband, King Edward VII, eclipsing even that of his wife. Fabergé's exquisite miniature models and hardstone carvings - embellished with rubies, diamonds and gold - were exchanged between the royal families of Europe and beyond for birthdays and anniversaries, as well as Christmas gifts. This new publication looks at 100 examples of Faberge's masterpieces across six generations of the British royal family, from Queen Victoria to the present day, and examines their tastes as patrons and collectors of these fascinating works. It includes examples from their personal collections, some of which have never been published before, as well as material from the Royal Archives and Fabergé's own workshop accounts.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn 1907 Edward VII commissioned Peter Carl Faberge - court artist-jeweller to imperial Russia - to produce miniature sculptures of animals on the royal estate at Sandringham. Designed to please Queen Alexandra, the project was suggested by the king's mistress Alice Keppel (the Duchess of Cornwall's great grandmother). The best craftsmen were sent to Norfolk to make wax models which were then taken to Russia to be rendered in hardstones, gemstones, gold, silver and platinum as directed by Faberge himself. Faberge's most ambitious venture in England showed the naturalistic genius of his workshops in St Petersburg and Moscow. It also crowned his career of patronage by the two Danish princesses, Alix and Dagmar, who married British and Russian princes and later became queen-empresses of rival empires. They strove over six decades to bring Britain and Russia together - and against Germany. Perfect little gifts by Faberge aided the sisterly enterprise. This bittersweet saga is also the story of Sandringham - family retreat and political powerhouse, and Alexandra's favourite home from 1863 until her death in 1925. The tale further traces the fate of players in the Faberge commission - many of the Norfolkmen being killed at Gallipoli, as Faberge crafted deadly munitions. While the dowager empress was rescued after the revolution, many of her relatives were murdered in Siberia where Faberge hardstones had been mined. - "This publication accompanies the exhibition Royal Fabergé ...

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe first book to be dedicated to the British branch of Faberge, covering its fascinating history from its opening in 1903, to its closure in 1917. Royalty, Aristocrats, American heiresses, exiled Russian Grand Dukes, Randlords, Maharajas, Socialites and financiers with newly made fortunes flocked to Faberge in London to buy gifts for each other. This book is the first dedicated to the glittering history of Faberge's British branch, from its opening in 1903 to its closure in 1917. The Imperial Russian Goldsmith's London branch was the only one outside of Russia and its jewelled and enamelled contents were as popular there as they were in St. Petersburg or Moscow. Using previously unreferenced sources and a newly discovered archive of papers relating to Faberge in London, Kieran McCarthy studies the branch's structure, customers and exclusive stock. The most expensive sale made by Faberge in London, of a diamond tiara priced for £1400, cost one hundred times the annual wage of a scullery maid. It will be of interest to enthusiasts of the decorative arts, the social history of the Edwardian Golden Age and especially of European Royalty. Faberge's works were and continue to be intimately associated with the British Royal Family. For Violet Trefusis, daughter of King Edward VII's mistress Mrs. Keppel and lover of Vita Sackville-West, A Faberge cigarette case was the emblem of Royalty, as symbolical as the bookies cigar, or the ostler's straw. AUTHOR: Kieran McCarthy is a director of Wartski, the London Court Jewellers who specialises in the work of Carl Faberge. He is on the advisory board of the Faberge Museum in St. Petersburg, is a freeman of the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths' and a fellow of the Gemmological Association. He has written and lectured extensively about Carl Faberge. He advises collectors and institutions on Faberge's work and recently revealed the rediscovery of one of the lost Imperial Faberge Easter Eggs. 191 colour, 86 b/w
