Bainbridge Henry. Peter Carl Faberge. Goldsmith and Jeweller to the Russian Imperial Court. His Life and Work

London: Hamlyn Publishing Group, 1972. — 326 p. — ISBN: 0600013073The author of this book was hired by Mr. Faberge, and both embarked on a 6 week tour of Europe. Was this trip a part of the job interview? Was this trip to confirm a perfect match with his new employee? Was the job description discussed? Destiny provided the "right hand man" to fulfill Mr. Fagerge's need since he was found to be lacking in words and overabundant in creative spirit; a creative spirit that later required a staff of 700 employees for production. You need a highlighter and Post-It notes at your elbow as you turn the pages. Quotes, places, and personage are there to be shared in conversation (or your writings) with the listening ear who will marvel with you over beauty, richness, jewels, and works of art.
