The House of Faberge created magnificent objects for the Russian czars in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. While the exquisite, bejewelled Imperial Easter Eggs are world famous, less well known are these sumptuous, individually designed cigarette cases.

Specially commissioned photographs reveal the beauty of the cases. Each is flawlessly handcrafted, unique in size and shape, and made from a dazzling array of materials: precious metals and gemstones, a rainbow of enamels, nephrite, wood, glass, crystal, and leather, to name a few.

Presented here for the first time, the Faberge cigarette cases and related accessories are from the collection of John Traina, the largest such collection in the world. The photographs are illuminated by expert commentaries, informative essays, and technical details on crests, hallmarks, insignia, and Faberge workmasters.
