This interesting and unique book gives a very thorough account, a historical perspective and every detail you could ever imagine about this artform.

In the last twenty years the Woolf family has been most generous in lending to the many Fabergé exhibitions organized around the world. The Lahti loan differs in both the quantity and that the pieces inculded have not been widely viewed by the public. Thirty-five items were chosen for the Lahti Art Museum show and are representative of the true “ œWoolf taste“ , which is a fine blend of simplicity, quality, artistry and humor. They indicate a preference for the Russian Modern Style, Art Nouveau and Orientalism.

This exhibition displays the exquisite works from the Fabergé jewelry house in St. Petersburg and Moscow. This exhibition serves as a reminder both of Sweden’s past ties to its neighbor in the east and Sweden’s fascination with what they considered the exotic Russian Empire. In fact, many of the master jewelers have Swedish names, yet another reminder that Russia once belonged to Sweden. Swedes regard Russian crafts very highly, as the elegance and inherent value of these objects mirror the excess characteristic of the time of the Empire. Though this excess eventually led to the fall of the Empire, it was also responsible for the wondrously imaginative and dazzling handicrafts that emerged from its most renowned jewelry house. This book presents a complete catalog of over 300 works, as well as a detailed chronology and essays elaborating on topics such as the Fabergé house’s historical background, artwork, and its relationship with Sweden.
