USE OF NATURALISM IN THE WORK OF FABERGÉ. Clare Blatherwick

“Fabergé” conjures up images of pre-revolutionary Russia, opulent Easter eggs and exquisite pieces found in the most important world collections.

Clare will discuss the use of naturalism by Fabergé, focusing on lesser-known experiments in Art Nouveau, as well as animal representations in hardstone carvings and flower studies. She will also highlight the naturalistic imagery incorporated into objects d’art such as desk seals and caviar dishes.

As Head of Jewellery for Bonhams in Scotland, Clare has travelled extensively, searching for jewels to auction worldwide.
