This lovely new book not only offers a fascinating range of jewels and objects d'art crafted in St. Petersburg, beginning with the reigns of the empresses Elizabeth and Catherine the Great and ending in 1917 with that of Nicholas II, it is also intertwined with captivating personal history! The author is Ulla Tillander-Godenhielm, Ph.D., who is the great-granddaughter of St. Petersburg goldsmith Alexander Tillander, a supplier to the Russian imperial court.
