Episode Two

Stephen Smith continues to explore the extraordinary life and work of the virtuoso jeweller Carl Faberge. In this programme Smith talks to HRH Prince Michael of Kent about Faberge items in the Royal Collection and follows in Faberge's footsteps, from the legendary Green Vaults in Dresden to the palaces of the tsars and the corridors of the Kremlin museum, as he discovers how this fin-de-siecle genius transformed his father's modest business into the world's most famous supplier of luxury items.
