For 300 years the Romanov family ruled Russia, through a love, hate and God appointed rule. During the time of Nicholas II and Tsarevich Alexis, Carl Faberge and his apprentices and helpers created some of the most beautiful and well remembered pieces of artwork for his time….the Imperial Easter eggs. They were the gifts of a poor man to honor royalty. Stunning works of art encrusted in the most expensive enamels, diamonds and gems the Russian world had seen in too long. They were beauty. I wouldn’t mind having just one.
