For those of you who are great
readers and for those of you belonging to book
clubs--these will be a treasure. Fabergé,
aware that most of the lovers of Fabergé
are readers as well as lovers of fine arts,
have done a series of book marks featuring miniatures
of the Imperial Eggs. If, like me, using a bookmark
is a must--then you will find these just as
necessary and delightful as I do. It pleases
me to see The Napoleonic Egg dangling from my
book. I find myself smiling each time I see
it.
The Tatiana Fabergé Book Mark
Collection
The book marks are diminutive copies of the
Imperial Eggs. Those shown here are the Coronation
Egg and the Napoleonic Egg. They are inscribed
with the name Fabergé and impressed with
the Imperial Double Eagle insignia on the back
of each egg.There are two to a set and come
packaged in a tiny velvet envelope which has
both the name Fabergé and the Imperial
Double Eagle impressed in gold on the deep blue
velvet. They are very handsome, beautifully
made with gold shafts and a matching bead between
the shaft and the Egg, wonderfully useful for
a reader and they have the added benefit of
imparting an aura of elegance to both the giver
and receiver who, it is assumed, will also know
the name of Fabergé.
Retail: $75.00. Our price: $67.90.

of Peter Carl Fabergé. Tatiana signing
her book, "The Fabergé Imperial
Easter Eggs" for Elayne. |
Note:
Tatiana Fabergé , the great- grand- daughter
of Peter Carl Fabergé wrote the definitive
book on The Imperial Easter Eggs. I had the
honor of meeting her and lunching with her and
learned an enormous amount about her great grandfather
and her father--also a noted jewelry designer.
From time to time she is in this country and
I am currently working on the possibility of
her signing some pieces for us the next time
she is here which will be in April of this year.
It is she for whom I named the Bookmark Collection.
