New exhibition:  8 December 2009 - 14 March 2010
THE STATE HERMITAGE MUSEUM
Enamels of the World 1700-2000 from the Khalili Collections

     Exquisite Faberge eggs, jewel encrusted pistols that emit scent sprays and Russian cigarette cases inlaid with diamonds, are just a few of the 320 gems on display in this exhibition in the grandiose setting of the capital's State Hermitage Museum. These priceless jewels are just a fragment of the Khalili Collection and many of the pieces crafted at the height of 19th century imperialism show how states forced their jewellers to impose national identity onto their works. Check out the evening bag, where the folds have been extravagantly replicated in engraved gold and enamel.
