Fabergé - Le carnet de bal - Seite 2

The diamonds of the Le Carnet de Bal collection resonate with the excitement and exuberance, the fire and ice of Russian winter festivities. They tell of the blaze of light, the fires and candlelight that illuminated the stately halls and salons of St Petersburg. The whiteness of the jewels echoes the exquisite white gowns, required wear for ladies, palatial white marble staircases and immaculate gold-embroidered white damask cloths on which were laid out festive banquets ornamented with spellbinding decorations.

FESTIVITIES IN FABERGÉ’S WORLD

At the heart of Peter Carl Fabergé’s world, in Russia’s great Silver Age, there were two main party seasons, the January Ball season, when lights blazed in the windows of mansions and palaces, contrasting with the white and frozen city outside, and the famous White Nights, in June, when daylight lingered late in the sky, inviting revelry under the midnight sun. St Petersburg parties were breathtaking spectacles, exquisitely staged down to the finest details of exotic flowers, vast giltcovered tables laden with delicacies, dancing and entertainment, from gypsy singers to opera or ballet performances. Dazzling gowns embroidered and embellished with gems and beads, dashing uniforms, magnificent jewels, knots of diamonds, flirtatious fans and jewelled orders on silk ribbons, all added to the splendour. As with all Fabergé contemporary collections, the Le Carnet de Bal alldiamond jewellery delves into the cultural richness of Peter Carl Fabergé’s world, capturing the sheer beauty, the brilliance and romance of Russia’s legendary parties and celebrations.
