Fabergé: Imperial Jeweller

The standard scholarly reference for Fabergé's work, produced to accompany a major joint exhibition by the Fabergé Arts Foundation and the State Hermitage Museum. At 476 pages it is comprehensive in scope, covering the full range of Fabergé's output from the Imperial Easter eggs to the guilloché enamel objects, hardstone animals, and domestic commissions.

Géza von Habsburg brought long experience as a Fabergé specialist and auction expert; Marina Lopato contributed the Hermitage's depth of knowledge of the Russian court commissions. The combination of Western market expertise and Russian institutional knowledge gives the catalogue unusual authority across both the public and private record.

Dlaczego Tu Wystepuje

This is not a Cartier book, but it is cited in the Paris Exposition 1900 entry on this site for a specific reason: Fabergé exhibited at the 1900 Exposition Universelle, winning a gold medal and being made a member of the Légion d'honneur. Seeing Fabergé's displays of delicate guilloché enamel work is documented as having made an impression on Louis Cartier, whose firm's subsequent output included desk clocks and decorative objects in pastel-coloured enamel and the Russian taste that show this influence. The standard source for Fabergé's gold medal and Légion d'honneur at the 1900 Exposition is von Habsburg and Lopato.
