If anyone reading this lives in/around the Washington, DC area, there are a few BEAUTIFUL Faberge eggs at the Hillwood Estate/Museum. The house used to belong to Marjorie Merriweather-Post, and she was an avid collector of Romanov art and artifacts. Definitely worth a visit!

I don't think I have seen such close ups of Faberge before. Wonderful !

Thank you for the verbal descriptions of many of the pieces. As a blind viewer they are particularly appreciated.

Did you know Fabergé created more than just the famous Imperial Eggs? What are your thoughts on his other incredible jewels?

Saw objects that I had never seen before. Lovely.

Have always been fascinated by the eggs and the lives/deaths of the romanovs.... Thank you for this video and the close ups of the eggs

I thoroughly enjoyed this documentary. What absolute engineering and craftsmanship 😍😍

OMG how outstandingly beautiful . Talent i've yet to see in todays age of cheap material and mass production. How i wish this caliber of beauty was available today in age.

My dad, Nolan Barras was tasked with creating the molds for the Faberge’ eggs put out by Vivian Alexander in Lafayette, Louisiana. He sought no attention (good thing, VA has never credited him) & when asked about fees, he said, “Make me an egg”. So I, my brother, my sister & her daughter, each have our own egg…..mine is, I think, The Chantecler, a rooster rising from the top at center. Dad also left behind several books of Faberge’s work.

It’s quality work we will never see again. Stunning

Watching this feels like forever and eternal beauty

I have always considered the Faberge Eggs some of the greatest works of art of all time.

I was stunned at the beaty of these eggs which were displayed in Dubrovnik in 2007! Before the entry into the Dukes court in Dubrovnik we saw armed security officers with automatic rifles which kind of gave us a hint on the total value of these magnificent objects! The one egg with pearls and lilies of the valley on pink motherpearl was my absolute favourite. Some expert present told us that this particular one could then be worth around 10-12 million dollars! Truly amazing and a once in a lifetime experience among royalty!

I never understood the fascination over fabergè items until now... true craftmanship.

Fascinating documentary. I loved seeing the eggs so close up. The one with the train is amazing.

It is a joy to see such exquisite items of beauty,imagination and skill.

The magic of the brain and the hands of master!

Holy smokes! So much of this are objects I have not seen before--and the historical significance of each egg, the Romanovs and the time leading up to the downfall of it all. The film that you somehow found and included here adds a dimension that, as great as this documentary is, would have lost the impact these films brought to both sides of the people and autocracy. I was lucky enough to see a showing of the Fabergé eggs in Los Angeles many years ago--fifty years? I think it was. My point is that seeing them in the early 1970s, nose pushed to the glass covers on all of these objects--still stays firmly placed in my mind. Thank you so much for this presentation! I've passed it on to a couple of people that will lose their minds when they see all of this!💐💐

I just find that whole period in history fascinating. Everything that Faberge produced was simply stunning. The trans-Siberian egg is my personal favourite. I actually found this documentary quite emotional, I don’t know why.

Beautiful. I'm glad the collection was returned to Russia. Should I get the opportunity again, I will make sure the museum is on the list of places for me to visit.
