Fabergé Winter Egg Sets New Record

The iconic Fabergé Winter Egg, originally carved from rock crystal and adorned with over 4,000 diamonds for a Russian tsar in 1913, was recently sold at Christie's London for $30.2 million. The sale, which followed a three-minute bidding battle, exceeded its $27 million pre-sale estimate and reclaimed the world record for the highest price paid at auction for a Fabergé egg. This piece had previously set the same record twice: selling for $9.1 million in 1994 and $9.6 million in 2002. The latest purchase was made by an anonymous buyer.
