Description:
Sweden 1997. This exhibition displays the exquisite works from the Fabergé jewelry house in St. Petersburg and Moscow.

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 houses historical background, artwork, and its relationship with Sweden., Swedish, Year1997, Illust. B/W25,…
