The 1927 Christie's Auction of Russian State Jewels

[Forum Admin]

We just acquired an article from the Illustrated London News about the 1927 auction of former Imperial Russian Jewels.  We put it up in the Alexander Palace Time Machine History archives, and I thought you might be interested to take a look at the photographs from the auction catalogue which were part of the article.

Thank you for the information to the auction link. The pictures are great.

It would be fascinating to find out where they are now -- if they still exist.

Wonderful thank you FA. Interesting that it contained no jewels of Alexandras and it states that!! Do you think she wore any of those peaces?

Shame to think they were solved off. Russia lost out
