Description

This comprehensive, illustrated guide includes photographs of a variety of Royal tiaras together with those of French and Russian Imperial provenances. Geoffrey Munn has been granted special access to the photographic archives of many famous jewellers, including Cartier, Boucheron and Faberge, for his research. Other makers include Garrards, Castellani, Giuliano, Lalique, Fouquet and Tiffany. Many of the stunning tiaras featured also have great historical significance and their provenance is explained fully by the author, who is a specialist in jewellery and metalwork.
