I had the privilege of seeing the largest expo of Faberge eggs and other Faberge creations collected in one location at a special expo in Brussels in 2005. They had some 'plants' like these and I can confirm in person they are utterly astonishing! In fact, I found them to be way more intriguing than many of the eggs (although some of the eggs, especially the carriage one, are off the charts amazing).
@Will Hooton I would love to have been able to visit at some point, but sadly it's going to be off limits to those from the West for some years to come I feel. Such a shame, but I live in hope to be able to visit one day in the future.
This must have been before that Russian oligarch started trying to buy them all. I've been fascinated by Faberge eggs since I was a child. Seeing many of them at once would probably make my head explode.
I found the reaction from the ladies in the background most intriguing. lol. The one looked in complete shock and it almost looked as tho she started plotting the idea of stealing the object just out of sheer jealousy as most of us have thought at one point. Specifically the lady w/blonde hair n the blue flowery look'n dress.
If you have ever been to Dudley, you'd understand. There's not much in Dudley - the Black Country Living Museum, where this episode was filmed, is where some of Peaky Blinders is filmed. Dudley is a run down, working class town with it's manufacturing days long behind it.
Can you imagine being told it's worth that much and then having to get it back where it belongs in one piece? I'd have been a nervous wreck all the way home!
Exquisite Faberge, a sprig of apple blossom. What a wonderful story too. I would loved to have seen inside the box, to see how they keep it safe in there.
Philly Mouse I always used to say I wanted to be Rene Lalique when I grew up. U am a jeweller, but haven’t had the chance to work with the quality of gems he had access To and I’ve definitely not yet achieved the quality if his workmanship, but he remains my primary inspiration....one day...🖤🇨🇦
Mark Kingston; I fully agree with you, I have even made the odd piece that surprised ME with the quality of finished product. I don’t let others do parts of my designs though...I seem to need to do the whole project...I wouldn’t mind getting to play with some of the old Imperial Russian materials though. They had such stunning gems, and a love for using different colour gold alloys together. I love that they also used unusual materials as well, like cow horn and semiprecious stones...not as costly as some, but still the best quality. 🖤🇨🇦
I love our Britishness that we laugh or simply agree when told the estimation. Whereas I’ve watched a few America clips and they nearly all reply “no you’re kidding? Seriously? Stop it no?” 😀
At first I thought that was a real pear blossom and they were going to open the box to show the medallion. Damn, that is insanely real artist skills. Value at one million pounds, real value, priceless.
That was made in 1903! Holy crap! I can't believe that the dutchess spent so much $ on soldiers. How wonderful. And Bravo to Faberge-what a brilliant piece(s).!

I went to a Faberge exhibit at the Houston Museum of Fine Arts many years ago. Such wonderful things to see. But the thing that really impressed me was a very small vase, maybe 6 inches tall, that was entirely carved out of quartz. What people don't know is that quartz is much more rare than diamonds, and harder to work with. To find a large enough piece with no impurities to carve it into a completely clear vase, it looked like glass, was a masterpiece in understatement. A priceless piece of art looking like a very ordinary and undersized vase.
I recommend keeping it in the Royal Trust or whatever they call the national museum over there. That's right up there with the rest of the jewels and priceless artwork.
@cloisterene Were you paying attention ? It belongs to a regiment, and is probably kept in the officers’ mess. There are literally dozens of museums in Britain, and there is no such thing as a “Royal Trust”.
Does anyone remember watching this show with their dad or grandad and having them always go, "Oh, I had one of those" almost every episode without fail?
4:45 Woman in the back *Hears £1million.* Now the cogs are turning: potential fast exit routes analysed, the threat of the two soldiers assessed, the proximity to an international airport quantified...
OMG your comment is perfect. She really does size up the soldiers to see if she could roll them, & then glances briefly at the exits for the escape route. We all process "ONE MILLION POUNDS" in our own unique ways! 😂
In a way it’s a shame to have to put a value on something as meaningful and exquisite as this since in reality it is priceless in terms of its rarity and symbolism. A million pounds seems almost trite.
How poignant and tragic .The Anglo Boer War. How ironic the flowers and stem are crafted from diamonds and gold , the very things that war was fought over. Gold and diamonds, the stuff of dreams or the stuff of nightmares depending the victor or prisoner . In the case of South Africa it brought so many woes if not the root of all ensuing problems and injustices, the discovery of gold and diamonds.....
Nice to see Stamford Cartwright, the conservator, again after 66years. ' Knew him as a young chorister at St James' Church, Wollaston then. He always had a cheeky grin and a good sense oh humour.

Andy Saenz By the way, I have one of those Diana Beanie Babies, not because it was a beanie baby, but for Diana... she was me heroine. Trust me... nobody would pay that much for it.... maybe fifty bucks at most.

That's Faberge for you
me also totally asking myself = why would they put that metal flower in a glass of water ? gob smacked ! crystal !
So did i!!

So the base is not glass but stone wow that is a masterpiece alone
I thought it was actually water at first! Masterful craftsmanship here.

Of course. People dont understand how fragile jades are!!! And those siberian jades are clear green!!!!
