Upon the death of his parents he lived with relatives in England and later, in Switzerland. He was subsequently sent to live with an Uncle in Russia, who owned a large store in Moscow and started to work in the jewellry department where he rapidly acquired a comprehensive knowledge of precious stones and objets d'Art. In 1886, on a journey from Russia to Paris, Allan Bowe met Carl Faberg‚ Attracted by Bowe's knowledge and obvious business acumen, Faberg‚ asked him to become a business partner. In 1887 they founded the Moscow branch on the Kuznetsky Most and later Bowe was instrumental in the establishment of further branches in England, Kiev and Odessa. In all, their partnership lasted almost 20 years, until it was dissolved in 1906 when Allan Bowe returned to England. The Moscow workshop concentrated on producing silver items under the workshop manager Mikhail Tchepurnov, cloisonn‚ enamel, and to a lesser extent jewelled objects under the supervision of Knut Oskar Pihl. Catering for a rather different clientŠle to that of the more cosmopolitan St. Petersburg, there was an emphasis on traditional design endorsed by the Pan-Slavic revival of the period. For information on Henry Bowe's colleagues in Moscow see: T. Faberg‚, A. Gorinia and V. Skurlov, Faberg‚ and St. Petersburg jewellers, (St. Petersburg, 1997).
