Traditions Collection

Faberge's fame rests on his achievement in creating the series of Faberge eggs collection - the result of an act of patronage on the grand scale by the Imperial family of Russia. The commission of Faberge as imperial warrant, supplier to the imperial court gave him the freedom to ignore questions of cost and time and to concentrate on the challenge of creating something new and spectacular each year, a challenge he met with outstanding success.

The origin of Faberge's greatest success and fame can be traced to the Easter eggs he supplied to the Tsar each Easter as gifts for the Empress. This custom apparently originated in 1885 when the first egg was commissioned from Faberge by Tsar Alexander III for Empress Marie Feodorovna. He was so pleased by the result that henceforth Faberge was given orders for a similar egg each Easter. After the death of Alexander III in 1894, his son Nicholas II continued the custom. He now ordered two eggs each Easter, one for his mother the Empress and the other for the new Tsarina, his wife Alexandra Feodorovna. As symbols of creation and of new life, eggs have been exchanged at Easter, the central feast of both the Eastern and Western Christian churches, for hundreds of years. Throughout Europe natural eggs were colored and given as gifts. During the eighteenth century, the practice of creating eggs out of glass, porcelain, wood, papier-mache, and precious metals and jewels was begun.

Faberge Imperial Eggs

Faberge would naturally have been acquainted with such eggs. According to tradition, the first Faberge Imperial egg, the Hen Egg, was ordered to remind the Empress Marie of home. She was born a Danish princess, daughter of Christian IX, and a very similar eighteenth-century hen egg was in the collection of the Danish royal family. Over the years Faberge eggs became more elaborate as Faberge's imagination (and resources) soared. Each egg contained a surprise. Between 1900 and 1911, six automaton eggs were produced (though not all were imperial commissions), the first being the imperial egg of the year 1900, the so-called Cuckoo Egg. In this egg the surprise is a singing bird which rises at the press of a button from the top of an egg-shaped gold, enameled, and jeweled table clock. Other surprises contained within these eggs ranged from miniatures of the imperial family (the Red Cross Egg with Portraits) to a model train in precious metals (the Trans-Siberian Railway Egg).

It would seem that a total of fifty-four such Faberge imperial eggs were produced by Faberge of the king of Sweden and Norway. At the Paris Exposition International Universally of 1900, Faberge exhibited his concourse (outside the competition) since he was a member of the jury. All the imperial eggs which Faberge had hitherto made, as well as many other objects d'art, were shown in Paris at this time. As a result he was elected into the Legion d'honneur and was made a master of the Paris Goldsmith's Guild. In 1903, Faberge opened a shop in London. This was done in the interest of better serving his English clientele, mainly the royal family and Edwardian high society. At first, an office was opened by Arthur Bowe from Moscow in Berners Hotel, then in 1906 a shop was opened which was managed by Nicholas Faberge , Faberge's son, and Henry C. Bainbridge. In 1911, after some intermediate moves, premises were established at 173 New Bond Street, where business was apparently continued right up until the Revolution of 1917.

Leopold de Rothschild was a major customer of Faberge's in London. As a coronation gift to George V and Queen Mary, he ordered from Faberge a gold-mounted rock crystal vase engraved with the royal coat of arms. Henry Bainbridge has recounted how the gardener from the Rothschild house arrived on the morning of the coronation to collect the vase and fill it with flowers for delivery to Buckingham Palace. Leopold de Rothschild also bought quantities of objects from Faberge to give as gifts, including various pieces enameled in his racing colors of deep blue and yellow. Bainbridge reports that "except in rare cases I never remember the Edwardian ladies buying anything for themselves: they received their Faberge objects as gifts from men, and these gifts were purely for the psychological moment. When that had passed, i.e., the actual moment of the giving, they completed the mission for which they had been made."

In creating beautiful objects, Faberge did not rely on large jewels and lavish settings, but emphasized design. He regarded himself as an artist whose media were jewels, precious metals, and enamels. When queried on this subject, he distinguished his work from that of other firms such as Tiffany, Boucheron, and Cartier, whom he characterized as "mere merchants."

All of our Faberge pendants are hand made, and even the petite eggs we carry are made in limited quantities. We proud to do our tribute to the talent and artistry of Peter Carl Faberge through our collection. All the pieces in our Faberge eggs collection incorporate the original designs in style of Faberge and are crafted in the best traditions with highest quality of materials and flawless workmanship.

Traditions of the Arapaho $36.88 Anthropologists George A. Dorsey and Alfred L. Kroeber joined forces to record and preserve the rich cultural traditions of the Arapaho Indians, long split into two bands. Dorsey had done fieldwork with the Southern Arapaho after they moved from Colorado to Oklahoma and would soon be known for his study of their Sun Dance. Kroeber had visited the Northern Arapaho, who were still living in Wyoming. "Traditions of the Arapaho," first published in 1903, is the result of their collaboration. This collection of tales bears witness to the religious feeling, imagination, and humor of the Arapaho. Beginning with creation myths, Dorsey and Kroeber offer stories about Found-in-Grass, Blood-Clot-Boy, Badger-Woman, Blue-Feather, White Dog, the Rolling Stone, Porcupine, and the Woman Who Climbed to the Sky. Entities marvelous and mundane--water monsters, speckled horses, dancing ducks, cannibalistic dwarves--populate these vibrant tales, where spirit permeates everything, and everything has meaning.

Primordial Traditions Compendium 2009 $34.77 Primordial Traditions Compendium 2009 is a collection of original works on Hinduism, Buddhism, Tantra, Asatru, Islam, Mithras, Mayan astrology, perennial philosophy, Paganism, alchemy, esoterica, and mythology from the Celtic, Nordic, Teutonic and Greek Traditions. Inspired by thinkers such as Friedrich Nietzsche, Julius Evola, Immanuel Kant, Ren Gunon, Huston Smith, Aldous Huxley, Mircea Eliade, and Frithjof Schuon, the book examines religions from a 'top down' perspective and stresses the common ideas found in all major religions and spiritual paths. By examining the foundations of religious thought as philosophical values, the Primordial Traditions Compendium seeks to produce a level of wisdom or gnosis for the reader that is greater than that which would be provided by the study of single religious system. Primordial Traditions continues the work of previous authors in the study of perennial philosophy and examines the underlying metaphysical truths that can be found in all spiritual traditions. The Primordial Traditions Compendium explains religion and spirituality 'as it is' without placing emphasis on any particular religion or spiritual tradition. This examination of spiritual thoughts and practices is of equal value to all readers, from novices to experts in their field. With articles ranging from introductory through to academic levels, the book reveals new information for every reader.

Jacksonville, Illinois: The Traditions Continue $19.75 The history of Jacksonville, Illinois, is a collection of traditions. A small town with a big heart, Jacksonville nurtures her traditions unconsciously. Delightfully renovated homes, physical growth at two colleges, strong support of voluntary organizations, and excellence in education are some measures of the traditions that originated 175 years ago. Frontier Illinois was settled from the bottom up. Towns like Springfield, Jacksonville, Vandalia, and Kaskaskia sprouted in the early 1800s. Jacksonville was the destination for so many people that, for several years, it had more citizens than Chicago, and it had high hopes of becoming the most important city in Illinois. Early on, the citizens of this new town recognized the need for religious and educational facilities. Through the years, the name Jacksonville became synonymous with education, and, with two colleges, three major state institutions, and public and private schools, that emphasis on education continues to this day. Higher education, the development of literary societies, and the welcoming of new businesses are all parts of the Jacksonville tradition, and there are few towns that can boast of such a solid, continuous drive for self-improvement.

Celibacy and Religious Traditions $29.73 If sexuality is inherently social, the same thing can be said about celibacy. An understanding of celibacy, argues Carl Olson, can be a useful way to view the significance of the human body within a social context. The purpose of this book is to examine how the practice of celibacy differs cross-culturally as well as historically within a particular religious tradition. The essays (all previously unpublished) will demonstrate that celibacy is a complex religious phenomenon. The control of sexual desire can be used to divorce oneself from a basic human biological drive, to separate oneself from what is perceived as impure, or to distance oneself from a transient world. Within different religious traditions there can be found the practice of temporary celibacy, commitment to long-term permanent celibacy, and outright condemnations of it. By maintaining a state of virginity, members of some religious traditions imitate divine models; other traditions do not admit the possibility of emulating such paradigms. Whether or not a religious tradition encourages or discourages it, the practice of celibacy gives us insight into its worldview, social values, gender relations, ethics, religious roles, and understanding of the physical body. Celibacy can contribute to the creation of a certain status and play a role in the construction of identity, while serving as a source of charisma. In some religious traditions, it is possible to renounce sex and gain sacred status and economic support from society. Each essay in the collection will be written by an expert in a particular religious tradition. Each will address such questions as: Why do some members of a religious community decide to maintain a celibate style of religious life? Is celibacy a prerequisite for religious office or status? Are there different contexts within a given religious tradition for the practice of celibacy? What does the choice of celibacy tell us about the human body in a particular religious culture? What is the symbolic significance of celibacy? What is its connection to the acquisition of power? What are its physical or spiritual benefits? The first collection of its kind, this book will be a valuable resource for courses in world religions, as well as a contribution to our understanding of this very widespread but puzzling human phenomenon.
