- They are at once exquisite works of art and fascinating relics of a vanished era. Some of the most valuable and prized treasures on earth, the jeweled eggs created by Peter Carl Faberge for the Russian Tsar represent the zenith of the jeweler's art. They helped secure Faberge a monumental reputation and embody an era of opulence that came to a sudden, horrific end. This film tours the Forbes Collection and the Hillwood Museum, offering a comprehensive history of these magnificent creations. Curators and experts reveal the amazing features that make each egg a masterpiece while historians explain how the waning years of Russian royalty can be traced through the eggs' changing themes. From the courts of the Tsar to today's auctions, this film presents the incredible story of some of the most mesmerizing objects ever created.
The original version of the film was produced and released in 2005, by A&E Home Video. This version is a special edition by "The Romanov Royal Martyrs Project", featuring new music and colorized pictures by Olga Shirnina.
This video is produced as part of the project for the book "The Romanov Royal Martyrs”, which is an impressive 512-page book, featuring nearly 200 black & white photographs, and a 56-page photo insert of more than 80 high-quality images, colorized by the acclaimed Russian artist Olga Shirnina (Klimbim) and appearing here in print for the first time.

The Eggs are about genius and workmanship. Unmatched to this day. Incredible.
How beatiful Romanoff family was! Zar Alexander and his son Nicholas were so gorgeus, so as their spouses.
I made my version of the pink one with pearls and the baby photos on top for a history project in 6th grade. I remember my teacher thinking it was odd when I told her that’s what I was going to do. I got an A anyway and then gave it to my grandma as a present. Mine was not as beautiful as the real one, but I was so proud of it.
Jennifer Fisher:How wonderfully creative!I'm sure your Grandma absolutely cherished it!Thank you for sharing your memory,it gave me a genuine smile(I needed it!).
Lara Keller She did! Mine was definitely a children’s art version but I had so much fun making it. For the photos on top I found baby pictures of my sister and me that my mom has in tiny frames for a necklace. I used that to put them on top.
😊👍
That's so sweet i love that story 🌹
It sounds Lovely! I'm sure she treasured it!
I love the internet .. you can literally learn everything and see everything ... Amazing craftsmanship
Thanks for watching and commenting on our video! Here's our latest one, which you will surely find interesting: th-cam.com/video/_3wDHtBY9Pc/w-d-xo.html
Agreed!!! 🧃
You Tube university is a great place to learn.
While the beauty of the faberge eggs is undeniable, I was almost equally (and surprisingly so) impressed with the colorization of the black and white Romanov family photos. Just beautiful. For some reason, I found them much more intimate and touching versus viewing them in B&W. Maybe it’s just the preference of our modern eye. Such a beautiful family. So tragic.
I feel the same way.
Yeah! But they met a horrible death. The whole family was massacred.
Why are beautiful and innocent human beings the one who gets hurt?. I hope that will change the course for this 21st century. We all should just respect and give them freedom regardless of what position they have.
I always dreamed of having one of these as a small girl. So glad that I clicked on this video.
I got to see a Faberge exhibit at the Detroit Institute of Arts a few years ago and I cried. Those pieces are so beautiful and precious.
Thanks for sharing your feelings from your experience here with us! What a wonderful opportunity that must have been!
One of the best special exhibits the DIA has hosted.
@Adren Lis
Wow you were so lucky i hope i can see them too in future 🥺😆
I'm sorry I missed that!
Who needs Bitcoin when you have Faberge
Never mind the opulence, the luxury, the history... just enjoy the craftsmanship of Faberge, unlike the brands you find these days that declare themselves as "premium" but with subpar quality and uniqueness.
Malcolm Forbes purchased a few from the Soviet government. He allowed them to be displayed in NYC. When he died, his heirs sold them back to Russia, where they are now on display at the Armory in the Kremlin. So I have seen a few of them in both places.
As they should have. They should have never left Russia.
Viktor Vekselberg bought all of them from Forbes.They are privately owned but displayed. The Kremlin owns another lot but not the Forbes collection. He paid $100 million dollars and has the largest collection of any person and built a purpose built museum. Between him and the Kremlin..more than half the eggs are back in Russia
It is hard to believe that with all the technological advances we have now nobody can produce such pieces of art like the Faberge Easter eggs.
So true! And that's one of the factors that make them so special!
Peter Faberge' was a perfectionist. If there were any flaws, he would have a golden hammer he would smash them with. They belong in the Hermitage or in one of the palaces of the Tsar.
@Kildare Aleksander sadly true...
@Kildare Aleksander : But it is ok when a monarch (a capitalist) holds in bondage of poverty and unhuman conditions millions of people (so the romanov can have those preciouse things in the first place)?! Your superficiality makes me sick.
@@terrybardy2848 : They belong to a Russian people, because it was bought with their money.
I had the privilege of seeing a beautiful display of a number of the existing Faberge eggs at a museum in Portland, Oregon about 15 years ago.
It was as wonderful as the King Tut exhibit, which also travelled the country.
The winter egg was designed and made by Finnish master goldsmith Alma Pihl. She returned to Finland after the revolution and spent rest of her days as teacher. Never telling anyone about her history and background as goldsmith.
Thanks for sharing this interesting history fact!
Interesting indeed!
@TheRomanovRoyalMartyrs She’s not Finnish. She was born in Moscow. She was the daughter of Knut Oscar Pihl, the Head of the Fabergé workshop in Moscow and granddaughter of August Holmström, Fabergé’s leading jeweler.
Oh no, what a talented wasted.
@@CZA27 Both Pihl (born in Pohja Finland) and Holmström (born in Helsinki Finland) were Finns. Finland was the Grand Duchy of Russian. But they all were Finns. Lots of Finns worked in Pietari and Moskova, even in Alaska.
While they have a controversial history, no one can deny these little eggs are beautiful.
They are so much more spectacular to be seen in person. I was able to see them at the MET and a smaller sample in Salem, MA. They are so amazing this video does even show their incredibly.
Actually a number of them quite tacky and so far gone from the brilliant simplicity of the first one ,that one could easily deny the adjective of "beautiful" being used for at least 1\3 of them. In my humble opinion. Cheers.
de prime have you ever seen one in person. Even if tacky, the workmanship and thought of these being made during that time is amazing. They really are spectacular.
I would never presume to deny the brilliance of talent and skill involved. Im just saying in my opinion a lot them are not to my taste. One can never be objective in matters of taste. Something can be jaw dropping spectacular but still "tacky" The palace of Versaille comes to mind. In answer to your question; no i have not seen them in person, but have been to Versaille. Cheers.
@@deprime3360 There's rather a difference between a countryman using expensive materials for the sake of owning unnecessary wealth or making it appear so (tackiness), and a noble using the resources that are plentiful within and identified with a country, to craft a national monument of any size (honest pride). When I see these eggs, I don't see the gold and jewels and carved lapis lazuli as something that is for someone to own, but rather as the magnum opus of the resources of Russia. They have every right to compile so many expensive things into one artwork because it's an honest representation of what they are and have the potential to be.
I saw they in Vegas and they are beautiful. I had moments of tears.
What a wonderful treat!
I was today years old when I learned Faberge eggs were exclusively crafted for the Romanov Dynasty. They just get more and more interesting the more I learn about the history of the beautiful Romanov family. 💗
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful! The amount of craftsmanship is mind blowing!
It is, isn't it? 💜
Look at pinterest I collect eggs nothing like this but still pretty it look at 🌹
What beautiful talent to create these gorgeous eggs. The Romanov story was very interesting, informative & tragic. What a beautiful looking family they were.
Thanks for watching. Yes, they were such a loving family, and they have now become an eternal symbol and model of love and forgiveness.
So sad what happened to the Imperial family.
@@dianetheisen8664 yes, the children didn't deserve it. None of them deserved to die in such a horrible way. 💔 :(
@@dianetheisen8664 Why? There was a reason for the revolution. The mass of the people lived in unbelievable poverty and the zar was an autocratic ruler. The life expectancy was around 30 years.
Mythical jewelry. Thank you for your videos about the Royal family Romanov. God bless them.
Thanks for watching! We are very happy to hear that you enjoy our content! All best wishes!
So pleasing to look at. Impressively beautiful. 👏
Just been to a Fabergé exhibit in London V&A museum. It the items were breathtaking and incredible I could of stared at them all day. Now I’m trying to find out more about them.
Stunning craftsmanship. I wish they were not in private collections. They should be in museums
Very true!
Exactly!
I wish they were all together for a 360° HD virtual tour made, so we all could see them in detail, but not museums because i feel they could be more easily stolen or even not well preserved depending on the actual financial situation of the museums holding them. I think they have a better chance to be kept prestine and protected for the future in private collections.
The Matilda Geddings Gray collection of Fabergé is at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan!!! It was at The New Orleans Museum of Art for years, Matilda Geddings Gray was from Lake Charles Louisiana.
And in museums in RUSSIA!!
An Audemars Piguet with Tiffany face sold for $6 million. I think a $5 million price tag is too little for a Fabergé egg, given its history, craftsmanship, and the rare gems and precious metals it was made from. It’s priceless possessions.
I would love to see those eggs in person. The talent and imagination it took to create them can never be reproduced.
There was a Faberge egg exhibit here in New Orleans some years ago. I was amazed that many of the eggs belonged to a woman who lived here. All were just exquisite.
This was an amazing documentary to watch! The Fabergé eggs are so beautifully crafted and have so much history behind each and everyone ☺️
Very happy you liked it!
The craftsmanship on display in this works of art is simply extraordinary. I honestly pity people who cannot understand and appreciate the history and beauty present in art. Great art regardless of form astonishes. Faberge eggs certainly do that. And they bring joy to the eye and mind of the beholder.
The work of Carl Faberge is utterly beautiful, realistic and as 1 jeweller says if you break it down to hard stone, and metal there isn't much there. You pay for the genius craftsmanship involved in creating such a masterpiece. I'm glad these creations of such utter genius craftmanship have survived, even if in private hands. There are pieces which aren't eggs that have also survived, I remember a simple pear branch seemingly in water. The branches crafted from gold, the petals of the flowers from mother of pearl each with a diamond in the center, and the "water" from rock crystal polished to such effect that it resembled water and reflelected the simple stalk.
Great comment, Collin!! Thanks for taking the time to share this with us here!
I'm just gonna paraphrase Dr. Jones here and say they belong in a museum.
A Russian museum, no less.
Helgali shut up. The Romanovs starved the nation & the communist regime didn’t serve them any better. They should be brought back when Russia gets it shit together.
They belong to their owners! Until the owners decide what they want to do with them!
@@catofthecastle1681 The Russian Royal Family's heirs?
No, the people who bought them or museums. These objects should be admired, not locked away in some vault or safe
Stunning
They are forever beautiful. I love them.
It's such a shame that we don't have anything near the sheer quality of the eggs produced today. It's like people forgot the saying quality over quantity.
A remarkable comment. In a world of pluralism we don't even have interest for quality of heart, let alone of artifacts...
Beautiful documentary
Thank you for sharing this amazing story ❤ Wonderful experience
We're very happy you liked it and we hope you'll enjoy more videos on our channel!
I think the private collectors should give up those eggs, the Soviets had no right to sell them. They should be put in museums, they should make one in one of the Romanov palaces and display them there
This video is a great gift--like opening one of Faberge's eggs!
Truly is, isn't it? 🌷
Thank you for sharing this very touching story of these exquisite eggs but also of the Romanov family. These beautiful pieces were personal and just seeing them makes me feel almost as though I’m intruding on the family’s privacy. It’s so sad that the craftsman and jewelers and builders, all those gifted people of that era who took such pride in the work of their hands, are gone forever. Sometimes, what the world calls progress, shouldn’t be allowed to progress at all. No computer program, no machine, no iPhone, can match the gift of creativity graciously given to some by God. Is there really any reason why that beautiful family had to die?

Repeating the history of this Easter egg 🥚 of my own journey to become a monarchy
Very beautiful design thnx for sharing this video ❤❤❤
Man the winter egg is stunning, captivated me far more than the others. Not to discount any of these master works
Thank you, Mr. Faberge for the beauty and treasures you and your people created.
I have always liked these fabulous treasures. The craftsmanship in these treasures is stunning. I'm amazed that we can't make something like this with our technological abilities of today.
It’s really a shame many of the eggs are owned by private collectors, the eggs should all be kept in a museum that is especially for tzar artifacts and/or a museum that specifically displays the items that this man made!
And it ought to be in Russia. It's as unfair to have most of them in the USA as it is for some of the most prominent African artefacts to be in Europe under the guise of 'protection.' They might have been bought legally by their current owners but most would have left their original countries as a result of plundering.
Lzy G hahha plundering Russia? Russia is no victim in anything ever.
Lzy G I agree America has many illegally acquired artifacts but I don’t think these are one of them. Russia willingly sold and got rid of all symbols of Imperial rule in the revolution and if they hadn’t been sold they probably would have been destroyed in Russia. The political context has to be understood in this situation, they hated the Royals.
private collectors could hand them over to museums for a price... like have the museum rent them
@@uggggggghhhhh many private collectors do that and sometimes it's with no price just loaning out the items for philanthropy sake, depends. I know this happens a lot with artwork
They are so beautiful, and were made for such a beautiful family.
I’m glad these were preserved
I just finished reading “The Romanoff Empress” by C W Gortner, which is a perfect companion to this excellent video.
When the faberge eggs went on display at the metropolitan, we were fortunate enough to view them,quite stunning.
Lucky you!
We saw them in Cleveland. Unbelievably exquisite!
You were all so fortunate to view them personally!! I think I probably already know the answer to this,but were pictures allowed?
If only I were that lucky. Doubtful they would come to Scotland..
@@larakeller2478 I honestly don't remember, It was over 20 years ago. If I have pictures, they are in a box somewhere. I probably also have a book that accompanied the exhibit.
Very amazing and beautiful artwork in history
I saw a Faberge exhibition in 2000. His stuff is amazing. The eggs are amazing.
How lucky!!
They’re all so stunningly beautiful
The remnants of a lost era...
Simply beautiful
Thank you so much for describing these so well. I had no idea, either of the intricacy or the size of these. As a blind person I'd love to touch one.
We are very happy that you were able to enjoy this video Kylee! God's love with you!
Craftsmanship at its peak.
The Rose Trellis egg is my favorite. These eggs are even more stunning in person.
I love Faberge Empirical Eggs. They are SO beautiful!
A wonderful documentary on the Fabergé eggs! Truly, they are beautiful. Thank you for this upload🌟

@@RomanovRoyalMartyrs yes, I certainly will. Thank you.
@@nickykeightley9355 many thanks!!
The Romanov Faberge Eggs are stunningly beautiful masterpieces of art and Russian culture. Thanks for the excellent pictures and discussion about them.
Their children were all beautiful. They were a lovely family. Their ending very sad.
Absolutely beautiful and magnificent art. Thank you for this video.
You are very welcome! Your kind words and your positive feedback keeps us going! Many many thanks!
The workmanship is undeniably stunning- but one hopes the Craftsmen and women who made them received good pay for their skills.
They didn't. Communist society
@@xannyphantom8864 It was Imperial while the eggs were being made!..Free enterprise &c.
@@xannyphantom8864 The were made before communist rule
@@xannyphantom8864 no it wasnt communist when these were made. Russia didnt become communist until AFTER the revolution when the tzar was murdered.
Tsarist autocracy was in effect after the time of troubles 1905 but was abolished after the Bolshevik revolution in 1917 when the tzar was made to abdvocate the thrown and later murdered in 1918
The eggs are exquisite, and made for the Royal family. I believe they should be in a Russian Museum on display. I think it's a shame they were sold to collectors. I hope they cherish the eggs. They were made for the Royal family showing the love and events surrounding the life of the Royal Family. I'm sure the communists stoled a lot from the Imperial Royal Family including their lives. So very sad for the world. RIP Royal Family.🙏💞💝🙏Thank you for the video, your work is excellent regarding true info on the Royal Family💟🙏💜😊
All of the ROyal Imperial Jewels were sold off... Russia had no money..
@@frenchartantiquesparis424 yes, I know that they were stoled and sold off for profit. Not to help the people. I'm sure it lined the pockets of the communists.✌
One large collection (possibly the Matilda Geddings?) was to be sold at Sothebys but the auction was called off because a Russian millionaire wanted to buy them and take them back to Russia. They are now in a purpose built museum in Russia.
@@MegaMesozoic What you are taking about is something that happened in the 2000. I was talking about about way back in the 1920s when Russia had no money and the jewels ere sold off... Anyway, I think the Museum you are talking about is actually in Switzeland because the rrich Russian man works there.
Jane Aston My recollection is that the entire Forbes collection, consisting of about twelve eggs, had been purchased by a Russian multi-millionaire named Вексельберг (Wekselberg(?) for something like $200 million. Today, the price paid seems to be laughable low, considering that modern dribblings by artists such as Mark Rothko, fetch about $150 million in recent art auctions. Just stumbled on something that more or less confirms my recollection >>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faberg%C3%A9_Museum_in_Saint_Petersburg
What a handsome family ❤ The girls were beautiful. Such a very sad story 🥺
Stunningly beautiful pieces of superb craftsmanship. These should be in a museum for the world to see and witness such beauty. A great documentary. Thank you
These eggs literally make me emotional, being that I’m so intrigued with the Alexander’s and the Russian revolution.
Faberge's Talent, Skill, Creativity, and Flawless Production, are Truly GIFTS FROM GOD.
How so?
Yeah...no. The talent of the artists who made them was perhaps an innate gift that was the practiced and honed. But these works of art were made by man. Nothing holy or mystical about them.
Did You know that many of Faberge masters were Finns?
@@jarisaarelainen5086 morning 🌞🌞🌞! No, I didn't! Thank You!
These are my favorite creations of all time!
Thank You, for such an informative, interesting and fascinating video!! The Faberge' Eggs are BREATHTAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL!! The Details are TRULY INCREDIBLE! The Family was really lovely, as well! I love the stories,:as well. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Beautiful craftmanship
I saw the Forbes' collection before they were sold. Just amazing.
I have always loved them. Back to childhood

God I love this man and all his creations.!
These are stunning Faberge eggs! My grandma collected them from all
Over!
She must have been very well off the least among them is over $250K
These are exceptionally beautiful pieces. It is just a pity that despite today's technological advantages, we do not have that same craftsmanship today. Not to mention the creative imagination.
I saw few of them in Hermitage, beautiful...
The Hermitage was my the one place I wanted to see...

Documentaries like this produced by The History Channel fed my insatiable hunger for knowledge and birthed in me a deep love for history: all of it’s warnings and lessons applicable to everyday life. Ancient Aliens and reality tv destroyed that model with swift efficiency.
I made some pottery horses in the past. 😅
Its not easy to make, the more robust style horse might probably the best option.
How amazing these works of Art
I remember in the 60's they made duck-sized eggs formed out of colored sugar with beautiful embellishments all over the outside of the egg. There was an oval window opening on the side of these eggs to pear inside at an Easter scene of chicks, bunnies, baskets, and grass. We just adored these eggs and saved them until they fell apart. We knew nothing of Russia or Faberge we just thought decorative eggs with little figures inside were delightful.
Barbara Galbreth yes, I used to get one every year. They were so pretty. I wish they could still be found.
@@caracunningham9210 check online, there are a number of sellers on Etsy and probably other places too!
I remember those too! They were beautiful.
I received one from my Gramma once for easter
I think replicas should be made for the collectors in all the different places in the world so that the originals could be in the location they were made. Russia. Also all the originals should be in a collection where all people could see them. Either a musuem or gallery, possibly in a state house. It hurts my heart that this exquisite art breaks down to dollars and cents. That hides the love Faberge put into each piece. There is nothing like it in the world.❤
We agree and hope so!
copies are on line
FYI, the FORBES Faberge Egg collection was purchased by a RUSSIAN INDUSTRIALIST and most are back in RUSSIA NOW! I was fortunate to see many of them on their American tour in SF and Las Vegas! Astounding old world craftsmanship!!!

The Treasures of the Tzar's began an exhibit in my town: Topeka KS. Many of the Jeweled eggs were on display. A beautiful exhibit and by the time I went to the exhibit the Catalogue was sold out and more wouldn't not be printed. I think about every family in the Midwest visited the exhibit from Aug 2 to Dec 1995.
So Beautiful..
Poor Romanovs
Poor Russia.

Thanks for watching, Rayonna! Here's another video on our channel that you will enjoy: th-cam.com/video/ouBUfDYRkdw/w-d-xo.html
I had the chance to see them at the Museum of Fine Arts in Montreal a few years ago. I regret not going more than once.
My favorite egg is the pink one with lily of the valley flowers on the outside.
OMG I want that pink one, with a lily-of-the-valley design!
Wonderful, isn't it? 💜
Alma Pihl is known to have been the designer of the iconic winter egg, it’s worth knowing. One of the hidden women within great art. Also one of the notable times Faberge utilised the theme of another to create something new.
They are magnificent
They truly are, aren't they?
Alexei joined his father at the front. The two grant duchesses became Army nurses. Imagine any modern leaders children doing the same today? It is a twisted joke. These people certainly deserve the beatification. We would be lucky to have such caring rulers.
The Trans-Siberian Railway Egg is absolutely amazing!
The Lilies of the Valley egg is my favourite, so beautiful!
I remember I tried to make my own faberge egg, When I was kid. (Flush out the yolks, decorate the shell ) Used to get my butt whooped from mom for taken all her eggs.
That's so cute and so funny! Thanks for sharing!
Fabrige eggs are awesome. Ive been fascinated with them since i first saw them, on a cruise on Celebrity X Cruises, wich parteners with Faberge, and you can see egg's on board. I went to a little thing on them when i was 11 ish on a cruise and the youngest other person there was probably 30-40 yrs older than me
Excellent presentation. Thank you.
My husband took me to the museum in Houston to see them. They have fascinated me for years and he knew I would love the trip, which I did. Those are the most beautiful "Knick knacks" I've ever seen (someone in the room called them that while we were there.)
These are so interesting...
Glad you liked the video!
Esquisite work, I’ve loved these since I was a child and learned of them.
