Lot 342:
1. "The Art of Faberge" by John Booth – Peter Carl Faberge, son of a goldsmith in St Petersburg, made exotic jewelry where design and the creative use of precious materials predominated and he became a legend in Imperial Russia for his work. This book illustrates the story of his rise, success, and eventual fall after the Revolution. 2. "Faberge and the Russian Master Goldsmiths" by Gerard Hill. G.G. Smorodinova and B.L. Ulyanova – Peter Carl Fabergé (1846–1920) is deservedly the most famous creator of the stunning gold, silver, and jewel-studded treasures of imperial Russia. Perhaps because of the popularity of his Easter eggs, Fabergé’s skilled competitors have been largely overlooked. Fabergé and the Russian Master Goldsmiths tells their story and features their masterpieces as well as Fabergé’s. Today, the creations of the Russian master goldsmiths are dispersed throughout the world. A broad sampling of masterpieces from the great Russian collections, as well as from private and public collections, are depicted here in nearly 300 full-color illustrations, a number of which are published here for the first time. Out of print.
