Hardcover. Condizione: New. This full-color catalog covers the extraordinary range of objects produced by the great Russian self-described "artist-jeweler" Peter Carl Fabergà (1846-1920). Smoker's accessories, photograph frames, clocks, desk pieces, boxes, cases, cabinet objects, jewels and costume accessories, table silver, hardstone animals, flowers, and Easter eggs appear in lustrous full-color photographs. All of these pictured are part of the Hodges Family Collection of masterworks by Fabergà , which is the first significant American group of Fabergà works assembled in decades. The Hodges Collection's inclusion of work by all of the workmasters and outside suppliers of the Fabergà firm further raises its significance. The collection is on extended loan to the New Orleans Museum of Art.Written by the museum's curator of decorative arts and recognized Fabergà authority, John Webster Keefe, the book includes valuable essays by collector Daniel L. Hodges; by preeminent Fabergà scholar Dr. Gà za von Habsburg discussing the astonishing rise of the Fabergà market; by Kieran McCarthy, specialist in Fabergà 's work in wood; and by prominent Fabergà bibliographer Christel L. McCanless. A chronology for the House of Fabergà from 1814 to 2007 is also included. Each piece in the Hodges Family Collection is illustrated in color and accompanied by a full description, an essay on its place in the Fabergà oeuvre, its relevant history, its provenance, and its specific bibliography.…
