Description
A rare and exciting opportunity to view a collection of over 100 spectacular designs by master goldsmith and legendary jeweler, Peter Carl Faberge.
From the everyday into the extraordinary, exhibition highlights include the Empress Josephine Tiara, the Nobel Ice Egg, a selection of Imperial clocks and presentation boxes. In addition, common objects such as cigarette lighters, cases and hat pins have been transformed into emblems of luxury by Faberge.
From The McFerrin Collection, organized by the Houston Museum of Natural Science.
