Rare Fabergé flowers found wrapped in tea towel could fetch £500k

Charles Hanson discovered two Fabergé flowers in a tea-towel inside a shoe box, they are now expected to fetch £500,000 at auction. Mr Hanson, a familiar face on TV’s Bargain Hunt and Antiques Road Trip, says they took his breath away when they were brought into his firm’s office in south-west London. About 80 Fabergé flowers survive – compared to around 40 of the original Imperial Fabergé eggs. The flowers, which are six inches tall, will be auctioned by Hansons on June 11.
