This video tells the incredible true story of the Third Imperial Fabergé Egg—one of eight missing royal Easter eggs made by the legendary Russian jeweler Peter Carl Fabergé for the Romanov family. Thought to be lost since 1922 and valued at \$33 million, the egg was purchased at a Midwestern estate sale for just \$14,000 by a man hoping to cash in on its gold content. But when he googled the name inscribed on the timepiece hidden inside, everything changed.
You’ll hear how Fabergé expert Kieran McCarthy helped confirm the egg’s authenticity, leading to one of the most sensational rediscoveries in the world of art and antiques. The video also traces the egg’s historical origins, the turmoil of the Russian Revolution that scattered the Imperial collection, and the ongoing mystery of the other missing Fabergé masterpieces.
This story is a journey through royal luxury, lost treasures, and one man’s near-miss with history. Join us as we unravel how a forgotten egg became a global sensation once again.
