"An exquisite Faberge egg, originally commissioned by Emperor Nicholas II in 1913, is expected to command more than 20 million at auction. Known as the Winter Egg, this opulent creation was a lavish Easter gift for his mother, Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna, and is considered among Faberge's most magnificent imperial works. Following the 1917 Russian Revolution, it was moved from St Petersburg to the Kremlin Armoury in Moscow, alongside other royal treasures."
