Beyond Faberge is an exciting and much-needed exploration of the incredible jewelry and silver industry in late Imperial Russia. -- Peter Kaellgren, Ph.D. Curator Emeritus (European Decorative Arts)

Beyond Fabergé is a jewel of a book and a must for anyone interested in Russian art and culture. -- Margaret Kelly Trombly, Former Director and Curator of The Forbes Magazine Collection

Marie Betteley and David Schimmelpennick van der Oyes beautifully illustrated and extensively researched study is the most comprehensive work available outside Russian sources on the silversmith-jewelers of the Russian Empire. Despite the wealth of the court, and the resulting importance and size of the Russian jewelry market, the careers of jewelers, enamelers, and silversmiths beyond Fabergé have heretofore been inaccessible to historians and collectors without knowledge of the language. It at last brings attention to those silversmiths beyond Fabergé, their stylistic characteristics and careers, and how their work circulated in the marketplace both before and after 1917. This well illustrated book is essential reading for historians of jewelry, the decorative arts, and Imperial court culture as well as a delight for collectors and admirers of the work of these talented jewelers. -- Karen Kettering Kettering Associates Art Advisory and Independent Scholar
