Through this stunning book, a jewelry enthusiast will be able to discover everything one needs to know about Fabergé. With many never-seen-before pieces, this volume showcases the most complete Fabergé collection – from the famous imperial eggs to the precious jewelry, enamels and Russian silver that are on display at the Shuvalov Palace in St. Petersburg, Russia.

It tells in a way or another the story of jeweler and goldsmith Carl Fabergé and his firm, renowned for creating the most refined objects of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries for the nobility and aristocracy of imperial Russia. In addition, it highlights the jeweler’s exquisite art and incredible craftsmanship through creations of impeccable beauty.

From Fabergé’s imperial eggs to the house’s delicate jeweled enamel clocks, picture frames, animals carved out of hardstones, gem-encrusted jewelry and presentation boxes, these priceless treasures can be found at the Fabergé Museum in St. Petersburg. However, this book showcases all-new photography of this precious collection, alongside stunning images of the Shuvalov Palace – which makes it a must-have volume that celebrates beauty, craftsmanship and heritage.
