<< < (2/4) > >>

londo954:
Wartski's has confirmed that the buyer is not Russian. The egg has been identified as the third Imperial Egg (1887) an easter gift from Alexander III to Maria.

bongo:
Where did they state that? It's not in their media release.

londo954:
It was in one of the media releases... an interview with the expert from Wartski's

ArchitectCS:
Annette,

I'm doing some research on the imperial eggs and their condition. When you go see the egg at Wartski, could you answer a question for me? In some of the photos of the egg, there is a bow above the sapphire on the stand, but in some of the photos the bow is missing. Since you can only see one of the three sapphires at a time, could you please tell me if only one bow is missing or if it's two? I would really appreciate it, thanks!

And I think I speak for all of us when I say we're a bit jealous not to work down the street from Wartski.

Chad

Annette:
Hi Chad, absolutely no problem, I'll check out and revert to you once I've seen the egg.

Very excited and as you say very lucky to be just a couple of hundred yards away from Wartski!
