简介

本书是第一部专门讲述法贝热英国分支辉煌历史的著作，记录了其从1903年开业到1917年关闭的全过程。皇室成员、贵族、美国女继承人、流亡的俄国大公、矿业巨头、大君、社交名流和新兴金融家都曾涌向伦敦的法贝热，为彼此购买礼物。法贝热在伦敦的分店是其在俄罗斯境外开设的唯一一家分店，店内镶嵌宝石和珐琅的精美作品与在圣彼得堡或莫斯科同样受欢迎。

作者基兰·麦卡锡（Kieran McCarthy）是伦敦宫廷珠宝商Wartski的董事，专门研究卡尔·法贝热的作品，也是圣彼得堡法贝热博物馆顾问委员会成员。本书利用此前未公开的资料来源和新发现的档案文件，研究了该分店的结构、客户群和独家库存。书中提到，法贝热在伦敦最昂贵的一笔交易是一顶价值1400英镑的钻石王冠，其价格相当于一个洗碗女佣百年工资的总和。本书对装饰艺术爱好者、爱德华时代的黄金时代社会史研究者，尤其是欧洲王室历史学者具有极高价值。

Fabergé in London: The British Branch of the Imperial Russian Goldsmith is the first book dedicated to the glittering history of Fabergé's British branch, from its opening in 1903 to its closure in 1917. Royalty, aristocrats, American heiresses, exiled Russian Grand Dukes, randlords, maharajas, socialites and financiers with newly made fortunes flocked to Fabergé in London to buy gifts for each other. The Imperial Russian Goldsmith's London branch was the only one outside of Russia and its jewelled and enamelled contents were as popular there as they were in St. Petersburg or Moscow.

Author Kieran McCarthy, a director of Wartski, the London Court Jewellers who specializes in the work of Carl Fabergé, and an advisory board member of the Fabergé Museum in St. Petersburg, uses previously unreferenced sources and a newly discovered archive of papers to study the branch's structure, customers and exclusive stock
