Fabergé's eggs : the extraordinary story of the masterpieces that outlived an empire / Toby Faber. by Faber, Toby, 1965- New York : Random House, c2008. Subjects Fabergé, Peter Carl, 1846-1920   Romanov, House of -- Art patronage.   Fabergé (Firm)   Fabergé eggs. ISBN:  9781400065509 : 140006550X Description:  xvi, 302 p., [16] p. of plates : ill. (some col.) ; 25 cm. Edition:  1st U.S. ed. Requests:  0 Summary:  The Easter presents that Russia's last two czars gave to their czarinas have become synonymous with privilege, beauty, and an almost provocative uselessness. They are perhaps the most redolent symbols of the old empire's phenomenal craftsmanship, of the decadence of its court, and of the upheavals that brought about its inevitable downfall. Faberge's Eggs is the first book to recount the remarkable story of these masterpieces, taking us from the circumstances that inspired each egg's design, through their disappearance in the trauma of revolution, to their eventual reemergence in the global marketplace.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 739.2092 Faberge Fa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 739.2092 Fa Checked In Add Copy to MyList
