A must-have for serious or budding Fabergé and Russian objets d’art collectors or dealers.  A pair of catalogues from the fabulous era when the finest pieces from Russia including Fabergé were offered mostly fresh on the market in Geneva.

Two Rare Christie’s auction catalogue: Important Works of Art by Carl Fabergé and Fine Russian Works of Art, May 12, 1981, Geneva.

Each softcover,  the first 127 lots of Fabergé objects, silver and jewelry; the second 183 lots of Russian jewelry, silver, niello, enamels by Britzin, Ovchinnikov, Kuzmichev, Maria Semenova, and other Russian objects, as well as the spectacular Orlov Service (lots 23-38) in porcelain. Fully illustrated, the Fabergé catalogue mostly in color, the works of art catalogue mostly black and white with some color.

Both covers a bit stiff and yellowing, bottom corners of some pages were bent, otherwise in good condition with clean interiors.
