Summary: Faberge: The Forbes Collection
Review: From cover to cover this is the most beautiful illustrated tabletop book on the works of Peter Carl Faberge' I have ever seen. The color plates of the Imperial Eggs and other objets' show detail as good or better than viewing the originals. The narrative of the acquisition of this marvelous collection is fascinating reading. This book is a must have for any serious student of the worlds most famous artist/jeweler-Peter Carl Faberge'.

Summary: Fabulous Faberge
Review: This has to be one of the finest titles covering a fabulous collection of some of the greatest Russian Objets d'art of the turn of the century.

It would be difficult to surpass the photographic rendition of some of the worlds finest objects, created with timeless skill and attention to detail. All of which is admirably covered in this book.

Any lover of fine art at its finest, or even the inquisitive browser, will find this book a treasure second only to owning one of the superb objects displayed between the endpapers.
