The House of Faberge created many magnificent objects for the Russian Czars in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Among them were several sumptuous, individually designed cigarette cases. The author has the world's largest collection of these handcrafted cases, unique in size and shape and made from a dazzling array of materials.

Beautiful photographs of a fantastic collection,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Faberge Case: From the Private Collection of John Traina (Hardcover)
Mr. Traina's book about his incomparable collection is a masterwork of photography, reproduction and scholarship. The crystal clear and remarkably close up pictures of the three hundred or more cases in Mr.Trania own passionately gathered Faberge masterworks gallery make the objects themselves almost palpable. This book is also welcome for the subsidiary essays, with the sole exception of a rather sour personal note by Mr.Traina's ex- wife, Danielle Steele. As a work of art about a long lost era of grace and elan and terrible contrasting poverty and violence, The Faberge Case makes many of the forever lost emotions and dramas come to life in a most vivid fashion.
