Die berühmten Werke des Juweliers Carl Fabergé wurden einst für den russischen Zaren gefertigt. Nun kam das sogenannte Winter-Ei in London unter den Hammer.

The Imperial Winter Egg with 4,500 diamonds was commissioned by Russia's Tsar Nicholas II in 1913.

The Winter Egg is described as one of the most lavish of Faberge’s imperial creations

Christie’s says the sale price is the highest for a Fabergé, beating a £8.9m auction in 2007
