    Faberge a remarkable man who had a craft which people found a gift, bought delight. A jewelry maker who made beautiful miniature memories. Inspired other craft makers. Unfortunately haters are going to hate, the way of the beast. But what beautiful items ❤

    The first time I ever saw a Faberge Egg it was in a magazine (back then we used smoke signals to communicate). I fell in love with it, I knew I wanted to own one someday. Unfortunately as a kid you have no idea you'll never own one. They are beautiful, so well crafted and imagined. Although they aren't the real thing even the ones being made now are gorgeous.
    Finding that missing egg must have been the dream of dreams.

I have seen both collections as well as what was on display at The Hermitage and The Winter Palace. Sadly when I was in St Petersburg it was still Leningrad and there has been so much restoration since I was there.

She invited me to see them but I never did. She died of cancer shortly afterwards. Seeing this video brought her to mind. And there are 3 missing. She had no children. I wonder what happened to them

      You know what’s really bizarre? Throughout the latest war in Ukraine, Russia has sent men to the front with Mosin Nagant rifles that were state of the art…in 1891. They still have stockpiles from WWII that never made their way to the front.
      They have also had a difficult time finding enough socks to give the soldiers. SOCKS. Meanwhile, Putin and his cronies are squirreling away billions of dollars for their own pleasure. And jokes aside, Russia really IS employing the same tactics in Ukraine today that they relied on in WWII. That’s one reason the recent influx of North Korean soldiers is worth noting. They’re using the same human wave approach they used in Korea in 1951. ZERO concern about the individual. Just keep throwing bodies at the other guy until something happens

    The Faberge Eggs were broken up by the communists and sold. Probably the same thing happened to the Amber Room in Saint Petersburg. If you ever get the chance to go to the Hermitage you’ll see many works of art came into the possession of the Russians in WWII.

The purchaser's anonymity was safeguarded throughout Wartski's records and they remain unidentified."3l Its current whereabouts are unknown.

      @@maszkalman3676 Can't remember that Germany has stolen anything? Only during WWI and WWII. And this was all taken back and much more after the war for recompensation as usual. Germany respective German Archaelogists and rich Germans bought a lot of artefacts. Benin statues for example are bought from British goverment, and the British took it as a recompensation from the Benins. We did not take any thing from the Benin. It was colonial time. And Germany was very short term in colonial business. After WWI all was taken over by British or French. Nazis did a lot of terrible things in 12 years. Very effective, all archived. And so it is still today no problem to return it back to the descendants. Other countries don't have such burocracy, and so they keep much more artefacts as you may imagine. And they do colonisation since hundreds of years. But they don't have exact lists of millions of people taken to slavery. They need recompensation first. And what is about the land of the native Americans or Africans? Will it be returned back or will such people receive an adequate recompensation for all the betrayl? I am quite wondering. We have kept a lot of artefacts in good care for science and foreign countries. Without our scientists nothing would be left over. Nothing for all mankind. Please look back to Bagdad. What happened after Americans took over? The great museum was plundered and the artefacts were sold immediately to rich people around the world especially America. (Today it shows it was a business in advanc, it was war crime too) And they will never be seen again and no scientist can do any research without knowing the true origin. Why giving back artefacts without knowing they may keep it in good condition. Will it not be better to have a good copy? We have a lot of artefacts from old families / generous people in our museums. They still belong to this families but they know their artefacts are safe, everybody can see them and they can be studied safely. WWII is over for more than 70 years. Why all that hate. To much movies? Like inglorious bastards? That is fiction, it is not the truth. The "Banalität des Bösen" is the truth. Read that book and you know the truth. It is from Hannah Arendt. Ever heard from her?
