Histoire:
The Faerber family are fourth generation jewellers specializing
in exceptional gemstones, diamonds and antique jewellery, building
its reputation on the purchase of historical and rare objects.
In 1971 at the International Basel Jewellery Show, Thomas Faerber
was the first merchant to exhibit antique jewellery bringing this
field to a worldwide audience. In 1993 to 1998 he was the President
of "The Swiss Association of Precious Gemstones Dealers".
Over the years his knowledge and business ethic has allowed him
to buy increasingly important pieces.

acquired by the Faerbers that now resides at the Louvre museum
in Paris.
It was commissioned in 1810 -by Emperor Napoleon- from François
Regnault Nitot as a wedding present for his second wife, the Archduchess
Marie-Louise. Because of this transaction and his continuing contribution
to French culture he was honoured in 2004 with the French Medal
