A Fabergé egg, known as the Imperial Winter Egg, was sold at the Christie's auction house in London for a record sum of £22.9 million on December 2. This egg, which was commissioned by Tsar Nicholas II in 1913 as a gift for his mother, is decorated with 4,500 diamonds and is considered one of the most beautiful creations of the legendary jeweler Carl Fabergé. Margo Oganesian from Christie's emphasized that this result reaffirms the enduring significance of the masterpiece. The previous record for a Fabergé egg was £8.9 million, set in 2007. The egg has a height of 8.2 cm, is carved from rock crystal, and hides a small bouquet of white quartz flowers. Of the 50 Fabergé eggs made for the Romanov family, this is one of the seven in private collections. Fabergé became famous for his eggs, created between 1885 and 1917, at the request of Tsar Alexander III.
