This article covers three landmark Fabergé egg auctions that reshaped the collectibles market. The 1913 Winter Egg, crafted of rock crystal, platinum, gold, and diamonds, was gifted by Tsar Nicholas II to his mother and sold at Christie’s in 2002 for over USD 9.5 million. The long-lost 1887 Third Imperial Egg, found by a U.S. scrap dealer, was authenticated and valued at USD 33 million. The 1902 Rothschild Egg, featuring a mechanical cockerel, sold at Christie’s London in 2007 for £8.98 million (USD 12.6 million). The piece examines their royal provenance, scarcity, and unmatched craftsmanship, while cautioning collectors to verify authenticity. With each sale, the Fabergé name remains a symbol of artistry, history, and luxury investment.
