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.
