In 1917, Alma Pihl, a master craftsman in the House of Faberge, was charged to protect one of the greatest secrets in Russian history--an unknown Faberge Egg that Peter Karl Faberge secretly created to honor his divided allegiance to both the people of Russia and the Imperial tsar's family. When Alma and her husband escaped Russia for their native Finland in 1921, she took the secret with her, guarding her past connection to the Romanov family. \n\nThree generations later, world-renowned treasure hunter Nick Laine is sick and fears the secret of the missing egg will die with him. With time running out, he entrusts the mission of retrieving the egg to his estranged daughter, Ava, who has little idea of the dangers she is about to face. As the stakes are raised, Ava is forced to declare her own allegiance--and the consequences are greater than she could have imagined.\n\nThis modern-day treasure hunt from award-winning author Kelli Stuart transports you into the opulent and treacherous world of the Russian Revolution to unearth mysteries long buried.\n\n***\n\n\"Employing dual plot lines, Stuart weaves the fascinating history of the creation of Faberge's Imperial Easter Eggs for the Romanov family together with a contemporary tale detailing the search for a (fictional) secret egg.\"--Booklist

Gombion, la casa dei B. nella campagna veronese, è stregata? Come spiegare altrimenti pranzi collettivi che fanno sembrare rilassante il pasto dell'angelo sterminatore di Buñuel, allarmi perforanti nel silenzio della notte, piscine trasformate in brodo di batteri, produzioni di uova costose come Fabergé, serpenti che si annidano nella frescura delle stanze da letto, eventi incomprensibili alla luce della razionalità individuale?

Called \"the Faberge of our time\" by Diane von Furstenberg, Joel A. Rosenthal, who works in Paris under the name JAR, is one of the most acclaimed jewelry designers of the past thirty years. JAR is known for his use of precious and semi-precious stones resplendent with myriad shades of vibrant color and set in organic shapes: one brooch, for instance, features lifelike petals in subtly differentiated hues, made from a thousand pave sapphires and amethysts. The New York Times has described his jewelry as \"belligerent, stubborn, audacious, funny, contradictory,\" while JAR himself has characterized his work as \"somewhere between geometry and a bouquet of flowers.\" This book, featuring nearly 40 pieces from throughout JAR's career, provides a concise, accessible, elegantly designed retrospective of the best of his jewelry creations, and is the only book of its kind on his work available in English.\n\nPublished by The Metropolitan Museum of Art/Distributed by Yale University Press\n\nExhibition Schedule:\n\nThe Metropolitan Museum of Art\n(11/19/13-03/09/14)

Engravers Gerd and Patrick Dreher are famous the world over for their masterly animal figures, each of which is cut from a \nsingle gemstone. In the early twentieth century, grandfather, great-grandfather and great-great-grandfather all cut gemstones for Faberge - mostly agate but also ruby, obsidian, aquamarine, citrine and rock crystal. Today, creations are still being meticulously made by hand using traditional techniques. The realistic miniature forms of mice, snails, toads, monkeys and hippos are designed by the two artists in multilayered and coloured gemstones so that, for example, the faces, palms of the hand or soles of the feet shine in an iridescent red-brown agate while the bodies are worked in the glossy deep black part of the stone. These unique engravings are today some of the rarest examples of the highest quality in craftsmanship, and represent fascination of the highest cultural degree in a world of increasing globalisation.

The Alice and Louis Koch Collection of finger rings was originally collated by a jeweller from Frankfurt am Main, once described as the German 'Cartier and Faberge'. By 1909 the collection comprised 1,722 rings from Antiquity to 1900. Rene Lalique, a contemporary of the time, was included, undoubtedly as a moderniser of the ring form. In the past twenty-five years the fourth generation of the family continued where Louis Koch and his wife Alice left off and expanded the collection to include rings from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. \n\nThis publication will present the complete collection of contemporary rings, now kept in the Swiss National Museum, Zurich.

Al centro del romanzo c'è un piccolo gioiello a forma di uovo forgiato dalla creatività del grande Fabergé. Due iniziali impresse sulla sua superficie rimandano a una storia d'amore a cavallo tra la Russia e la Francia nella prima metà del Novecento. Parallelamente a questa, si scopre però che le iniziali sono le stesse di altri due protagonisti del romanzo: una coppia di ebrei italiani costretti all'esilio durante la seconda guerra mondiale. Proprio durante la fuga in Svizzera, il ciondolo viene però strappato via dal collo della donna, uccisa freddamente davanti ai suoi figli. Ricomparirà poi, una sera, a Torino, decenni dopo, durante un incontro dagli intriganti risvolti sensuali. Il ciondolo nasconde quindi in sé un arcano?

Marjorie Merriweather Post was an extraordinary person for her time, not only for being the head of a major US corporation but also for overseeing elegant and well-run residences and amassing collections of astounding beauty. Encompassing portraiture, imperial Russian tableware, Faberge creations, stunning garments and jewellery, books, and rare objects in gold, silver, enamel, porcelain, ivory, and glass, Post s works of art were acquired with intelligence and savvy. As a collector, she was inspired by past royal and aristocratic patrons as well as countries that she adored: France, Russia, England, and Austria. This publication illustrates the evolution of Post s collections, as well as her interaction with a multitude of designers, dealers, artists, artisans, and architects with whom she worked. The backdrops for her treasures residences in New York (a 54-room triplex apartment), the Adirondacks (Camp Topridge), Palm Beach (Mar-A-Lago), Washington DC (Hillwood), and on Long Island, among others are depicted with period and newly commissioned photography. Post was actively involved with the international art world of her time, and her taste and lifestyle had an effect on her family members and many admirers.

A rare look at the exquisite world of Russian treasures that lies beyond Fabergé. Imperial Russia evokes images of a vanished court’s unparalleled splendor: magnificent tiaras, gem-encrusted necklaces, snuffboxes, and other diamond-studded baubles of the tsars and tsarinas. During that time, jewelry symbolized power and wealth, and no one knew this better than the Romanovs. The era marked the high point of the Russian jewelers' art. Beginning with Catherine I's reign in 1725, in the century when women ruled Russia, until the Russian Revolution of 1917,  the imperial capital's goldsmiths perfected their craft, and soon the quality of Russia’s jewelry equaled, if not surpassed, the best that Europe’s capitals could offer. Who created these jewels that helped make the Russian court the richest in Europe? Hint: it wasn't Carl Fabergé. This is the first systematic survey in any language of all the leading jewelers and silver masters of imperial Russia. The authors skillfully unfold for us the lives, histories, creations, and makers’ marks of the artisans whose jewels and silver masterworks bedazzled the tsars. The previously unheralded names include Pauzié, Bolin, Hahn, Koechli, Seftigen, Marshak, Morozov, Nicholls & Plincke, Grachev, Sazikov, and many others. The market for these exquisite masterworks is also explored, from its beginnings to today's auction world and collector demand. More than 600 stunning photos reacquaint the world with the master artisans and their creations.

This is the story of Fabergé's Imperial Easter eggs – of their maker, of the tsars who commissioned them, of the middlemen who sold them and of the collectors who fell in love with them. It's a story of meticulous craftsmanship and unimaginable wealth, of lucky escapes and mysterious disappearances, and ultimately of greed, tragedy and devotion. Moreover, it is a story that mirrors the history of twentieth-century Russia – a satisfying arc that sees eggs made for the tsars, sold by Stalin, bought by Americans and now, finally, returned to post-communist Russia. There is also an intriguing element of mystery surrounding the masterpieces. Of the fifty 'Tsar Imperial' eggs known to have been made, eight are currently unaccounted for, providing endless scope for speculation and forgeries. This is the first book to tell the complete history of the eggs, encompassing the love and opulence in which they were conceived, the war and revolution that scattered them, and the collectors who preserved them.
