$18.5 million egg?
It’s not often old eggs are sold for very much, but when it’s a 105 year old Faberge Egg covered in pink diamonds there may be an exception. The egg, which also features a miniature clock and a rooster flapping his wings, drew a final price of a staggering $18.5 million, shattering the previous Faberge Egg record of $9.6 million sold in 2002.
Originally created in 1902, this particular egg was purchased by an unnamed Russian collector and it marks a continued return of Russian art to it’s original home in Russia as more and more Russian collectors have he ability to recover them.
