Faberge"s Eggs

Between 1885 and 1916, Carl Faberge Made Fifty Fabulous Jewelled Eggs - Easter Presents from Russia"s Last Two Emperors to their Wives. Since the brutal murder of the last tsar and his family in a Siberian basement, these eggs have become the most famous surviving symbols of the Romanov Empire: both supreme examples of the jeweller"s art and the vulgar playthings of a decadent court on the brink of revolution . Their History Encompasses Bolsheviks and EntrePreneurs, Tycoons and Heireses, Con-Men and Queens. Eggs Have Been Sold and Smuggled, Stolen and Forged. NOW, AS THEY RETURN TO RUSSIA, THEIR HISTORY - LIKE THAT OF RUSSIA ITSELF - SEEMS TO HAVE COME FULL CIRCLE.
