The quality is excellent, and the designer is quite respectable, but I think that price so frantically raised the origin of armchair - the same infamous "provenance" - as in many others from this collection, which, in my opinion, properly and was not a collection in the true sense of the word it was rather a set of items, among which were two very wealthy man, who loved luxury, who had a not bad taste and - most importantly - excellent information in the field of art.
I was especially amused by brush - amethyst, quartz, even some that you can buy at any little shops of souvenirs for 20 euros, and which are "collectors", if my memory serves me, more than 500 euros

It is not entirely clear - often the awareness replaces taste.

Sometimes, even necessary, in the interests of business, forget about their preferences and rely only on information.

I and Faberge prices can not understand. Well, snuff, well, eggs, so what? Faberge himself is not very appreciated in comparison with fine art!

I'd love to return to the topic of design, especially in view of the forthcoming gift fever. Shipek as I realized only on the order, but still have to search. Who, what else advise?

fross, It depends on what amount you have and for whom you take a gift (for a favorite) is one thing for another mother, for the head .. etc
