The Fabergé Pieces That SURVIVED the Romanovs — And the Family Member Who Hid Them in Her Coat

In the autumn of 1918, Maria Feodorovna — once Empress of Russia — sat by candlelight with a needle and thread, hiding the last Fabergé eggs, brooches, and jeweled frames inside the lining of her travelling coat. Days later, Bolshevik soldiers would search her cabin aboard HMS Marlborough. They never touched the wool folded across her arm. This is the true story of a mother who lost her son, her empire, and her world — and saved what she could of it stitch by stitch. From the cellar at Yekaterinburg to a quiet villa in Denmark, from a coat heavy as a child to a museum in St. Petersburg where the eggs blaze again under gallery lights — discover how nine surviving Imperial Fabergé pieces came home after 76 years of exile.
