The Romanov Faberge Eggs

They are at once exquisite works of art and fascinating relics of a vanished era. Some of the most valuable and prized treasures on earth, the jeweled eggs created by Peter Carl Faberge for the Russian Tsar represent the zenith of the jeweler's art. They helped secure Faberge a monumental reputation and embody an era of opulence that came to a sudden, horrific end. This film tours the Forbes Collection and the Hillwood Museum, offering a comprehensive history of these magnificent creations. Curators and experts reveal the amazing features that make each egg a masterpiece while historians explain how the waning years of Russian royalty can be traced through the eggs' changing themes. From the courts of the Tsar to today's auctions, this film presents the incredible story of some of the most mesmerizing objects ever created.
The original version of the film was produced and released in 2005, by A&E Home Video. This version is a special edition by "The Romanov Royal Martyrs Project", featuring new music and colorized pictures by Olga Shirnina.
This video is produced as part of the project for the book "The Romanov Royal Martyrs”, which is an impressive 512-page book, featuring nearly 200 black & white photographs, and a 56-page photo insert of more than 80 high-quality images, colorized by the acclaimed Russian artist Olga Shirnina (Klimbim) and appearing here in print for the first time.

@@deprime3360 There's rather a difference between a countryman using expensive materials for the sake of owning unnecessary wealth or making it appear so (tackiness), and a noble using the resources that are plentiful within and identified with a country, to craft a national monument of any size (honest pride). When I see these eggs, I don't see the gold and jewels and carved lapis lazuli as something that is for someone to own, but rather as the magnum opus of the resources of Russia. They have every right to compile so many expensive things into one artwork because it's an honest representation of what they are and have the potential to be.

The work of Carl Faberge is utterly beautiful, realistic and as 1 jeweller says if you break it down to hard stone, and metal there isn't much there. You pay for the genius craftsmanship involved in creating such a masterpiece. I'm glad these creations of such utter genius craftmanship have survived, even if in private hands. There are pieces which aren't eggs that have also survived, I remember a simple pear branch seemingly in water. The branches crafted from gold, the petals of the flowers from mother of pearl each with a diamond in the center, and the "water" from rock crystal polished to such effect that it resembled water and reflelected the simple stalk.

The Lilies of the Valley egg is my favourite, so beautiful!

[@joycefroney6162]

Got to view them in NY at the little museum at the Forbes building. Stunning.

These are stunning Faberge eggs! My grandma collected them from all Over!

[@tracyjames2046]

My favorite egg is the pink one with lily of the valley flowers on the outside.

True artistry.

Alexei joined his father at the front. The two grant duchesses became Army nurses. Imagine any modern leaders children doing the same today? It is a twisted joke. These people certainly deserve the beatification. We would be lucky to have such caring rulers.

These are exceptionally beautiful pieces. It is just a pity that despite today's technological advantages, we do not have that same craftsmanship today. Not to mention the creative imagination.

Fabrige eggs are awesome. Ive been fascinated with them since i first saw them, on a cruise on Celebrity X Cruises, wich parteners with Faberge, and you can see egg's on board. I went to a little thing on them when i was 11 ish on a cruise and the youngest other person there was probably 30-40 yrs older than me

I had the chance to see them at the Museum of Fine Arts in Montreal a few years ago. I regret not going more than once.

Incredible beauty !

[@mikesnitro]

The Trans-Siberian Railway Egg is absolutely amazing!

[@carlamarlene2927]

gosh those are freaking beautiful!!

In the documentary "Russia's Lost Princesses" They said it was Nicholas II's wife, Alexandra, who insisted the children be raised in a spartan life, with cold baths, plain food, etc and that the rest of the royals were shocked by how the children were being raised. If they were that surprised by the girls being forced to wear hand-me-downs and making their own beds, it doesn't really speak to a tradition of the children being raised without excess.

[@battywattywoo]

OMG I want that pink one, with a lily-of-the-valley design!

[@RomanovRoyalMartyrs]

Wonderful, isn't it? 💜

[@zoefang4563]
