Hi res images now available on Wartski's website.

Even if you didn't recognise it as Faberge, it's still incredible anyone would would consider melting this down for the gold. What rednecks!

I wonder if the buyer is Russian, Saudi, or from Qatar.

Annette:
Fortunately it's going to be on display at Wartski in April, which is very close to my office.  Will be a privilege to be able to see it. 

KarinK:
What an amazing story! It's so striking to see those clear new photos of the egg and then the photo from the 1902 exhibition.

RoyalWatcher:
Wowza! What a gift it was this morning to be able to see the missing #3 Faberge Imperial Easter Egg. I am over the moon!!!
