The name Fabergé has long been a byword for luxury. Combining an entrepreneurial vision for craftsmanship with innovative material sourcing and technical ability, Carl Fabergé created an astonishing array of jewelled and enamelled objects at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century.

Featuring over 120 pieces, from delicate flowers to Imperial Easter eggs, this beautifully illustrated book explores the history and legacy of the House of Fabergé, from its origins in Russia - and its role in the world of the Romanovs - to global recognition. Much of the story is familiar, but less well known is the important part played by the London branch. Opened in 1903, and the only one outside Russia, it became a choice destination for Edwardian high society and an international clientele.
