The Forbes Collection
by Christopher Forbes and Robyn Tromeur-Brenner
Book Description: Fifth Avenue in New York houses many treats, but one
of its more sumptuous offerings is a gem of a museum - the Forbes Faberge
collection. Containing more than 400 objets d'art, this tiny museum is
a treasure trove of artistic and historical masterpieces.
One hundred and twenty pieces from the Forbes Faberge collection are
pictured here, each accompanied by a detailed essay on its significance
and history and the artisans who created it. Printed on elegant paper and
accompanied by 26 tip-ins, this volume also features genealogies of the
European royal families who commissioned most of these pieces.

Eggs: A Retrospective Encyclopedia
by Will Lowes, Christel Ludewig McCanless
Book Description: This work presents the most detailed technical descriptions
available in the existing literature on 66 Faberge eggs, as well as the
stories of people involved in their making or presentation. Exhaustive
research on provenance is presented, as well as a list of exhibitions and
literary citations. Much information has only recently come to light, and
the authors have benefited from recent European research, particularly
in Russia. Color and black and white photos complement the text.

The World of Faberge
by Geza Von Habsburg (Editor), Robbie Mahoney (Designer)
Book Description: The World of Faberge accompanies one of the most ambitious
exhibitions ever mounted on the jewelers of the Russian Imperial Court.
With over 750 treasures by Faberge and other world-famous jewelers and
goldsmiths, all illustrated in full color, The World of Faberge brings
together the famous collections from the Kremlin Museum in Moscow, the
Hermitage in St. Petersburg, as well as the Forbes Collection and numerous
private European and American collections.
For the first time, this book places the phenomenon of Faberge in its
wider context. It focuses on its origins and sources, reveals aspects of
the famous jewelers that have hitherto never properly been explored, and
makes comparisons not only with Faberge's Russian competitors, but also
with its foreign peers such as Cartier, Lalique and Tiffany.
Contributions by many leading Faberge specialists explore the significance
and enduring legacy of this world of Faberge Published to coincide with
a major exhibition in the United States
