Calling on four decades of experience as a specialist dealer in the creations of Carl Fabergé, Andre Ruzhnikov exposes both the worldwide forgers producing fake Fabergé and the dealers who knowingly trade in them. The corruption reaches all the way to the heights of St Petersburg's venerable Hermitage Museum and to the depths of a so-called 'Fabergé Museum' in the German spa-town of Baden-Baden. Ruzhnikov demonstrates how the great Fabergé fraud reaches into the deepest recesses of the Kremln. Pacy, punchy and provocative, Fauxbergé is essential reading for lovers of art, and justice.
