Amazing review of Faberge animal minatures in the English Royal collection ... these animals are unlike and more precious than any others in sculpted in bronze, formed into porceline, or otherwise fabricated into other sculptural forms aside from Jeff Koon's "Puppy" (first appearing in Arolsen, Germany, 1992) or Damien Hirst's Shark ("The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living", 2003) ...

In 1907 King Edward VII and his consort, Queen Alexandra, commissioned the Imperial Russian jeweller Carl Fabergé to create an entire diminutive carved menagerie of all the animals on their country estate at Sandringham in Norfolk. The result was the largest group of Fabergé's hardstone animal carvings in existence. This book is the first to explore the complete history of this unique commission. It includes stunning close-up photography of the carvings themselves, plus contextual material from both the Russian and the Royal Archives, some of which has never been published before. It gives an introduction to the history of royal patronage of Fabergé, and concludes with information on his workshops, carvers, and a glossary of specialist terms. This is the first time the 'Sandringham Commission' has been studied in its entirety, and this book is an important addition to works on the great Russian master.
