Faberge's Eggs: The Extraordinary Story of the Masterpieces That Outlived an Empire

you will like this book. it also contains great historical photos and a lot of useful information. it would also make an ideal present. after reading it i bought one for my friend in austria.

Tony Faber has closely woven the story of the Russian Imperial family with the fabulous Easter Eggs made for the czarinas by the workshops of Carl Fabergé ( of french huegenot descent ) in St Petersburg. Each egg is fitted into the story of the events and love lives of the czarinas - their children their background and the great love that existed between the Czars and their originally protestant european brides - all closely linked - of course- to our own Queen Victoria in one way or anothe.

Love reading anything about the last Tsar and Tsarina. This book adds to the collection

Eggcellent book and service

Like all books on Faberge there is extraordinary craftsmanship on show.
