The Fifteenth Anniversary Egg
A Faberge Imperial Easter Egg presented by Tsar Nicholas II to his wife the Empress Alexandra Feodorovna at Easter 1911. But all the elements of the Romanov story come together most elegantly in the Fifteenth Anniversary egg (1911), a family album just over five-inches-tall. Exquisitely detailed paintings depict the most notable events of the reign of Nicholas II and each of the family members. "Not only is it a staggering tour-de-force of the jeweler's art," says Forbes, "but probably more than any other egg, it is the one most intimately associated with the whole tragedy of Nicholas and Alexandra and that incredibly beautiful family. There are these five children - all these sort of glamorous events surrounding their lives - and there they are looking out at us happily unknowing what was going to happen to them just a few years later."

Был объявлен аукцион: Sale N07981 April 20-21, 2004. Но аукционному дому Сотби сделали предложение, от которого он не мог отказаться. О сенсационной продаже-покупке было объявлено 4 февраля 2004 года.

Теперь всем нам предоставляется возможность полюбоваться этой красотой. Надеюсь не только на фотографиях, но и в живую. Обещают показать даже в Ижевске. Now the opportunity to admire is granted all of us this beauty. I hope not only in photos, but also in alive. Promise to show even in Izhevsk.
