In Conversation with Geoffrey Munn | The Mastery of Fabergé
Fabergé stands as one of the world's most celebrated luxury houses. Coming up this March, we have our auction The Mastery of Fabergé, Jewellery & Objects of Vertu. Ahead of the auction, Head of Jewellery, Charlotte Peel sat down with jewellery specialist, historian and writer, Geoffrey Munn to learn more about these exquisite works.
At the age of 19, Geoffrey started working at the court jewellers, Wartski. It was here that he cultivated his expertise in art and antiques, specialising in 19th-century jewellery, with a particular focus on the works by Carl Fabergé. Here, Charlotte and Geoffrey take a look at some of the signature Fabergé designs, including jewellery, objets d'art and rare accessories, which will be offered in our auction on Wednesday 19 March.
