02:57At $8,700,000, it's selling to this telephone, all done, at $8,700,000.
03:02Maria, your bidder at $8,700,000.
03:04Thank you.
03:34The lot that leads this sale is a wonderful work by Kierrit Dadao,
03:38who was Rembrandt's most gifted pupil.
03:41And this is his earliest representation of a flute player that he would represent later in his years.
03:46And it's also early work by him where you see this incredibly meticulous finish
03:50that made him so renowned in his own time and in the centuries beyond.
04:04I'm just trying to play.
04:31I've only just there.
04:39Like,
04:40I've only just there.
04:43I've only just put them in his own time and it's really incredible.
04:49I mean, it's extremely heavy.
04:51I think it's really hard to open this place now.
04:57It's something that's a method to work and the bussing together for $4,500.
05:01And it also lists the...
05:20This is one of imperial Easter eggs created by Fabrze for the Romanovs.
05:35And the winter egg is arguably the best of them all.
05:39It was commissioned in 1913 as a present from Nicholas II to his mother, Maria Fedorovna.
05:46And it's amazing in its design, in its craftsmanship, the technique that Faberge used, the history behind it.
05:55Everything about the winter egg is so important and so rare as well.
06:00The winter egg is quite special because it
06:30was designed by a woman, Alma Pill.
06:32She only designed two imperial Easter eggs, winter egg being one of them.
06:37And she was inspired by frost on the window in her workshop.
06:44The legend goes is that on a winter morning in her workshop, she looked out of the window
06:50and she saw that frosted pattern which inspired her to create the snowflake motif.
06:55She designed the whole series of jewellery, but the winter egg is really the ultimate creation
07:00The winter egg is made of rock crystal, as well as the base, and it's set with platinum mounts.
07:07Covered with tiny rose-cut diamonds, we have the original invoice from Faberge, and it actually lists the number,
07:14and it's set with platinum mounts covered with tiny rose-cut diamonds.
07:19We have the original invoice from Faberge, and it actually lists the number of diamonds, it's 4,508 diamonds on the winter egg, believe it or not.
07:26So it's an absolutely stunning creation.
07:28It would have been really difficult to make something like that.
07:31The winter egg is made of rock crystal, as well as the base, and it's set with platinum mounts covered with tiny rose-cut diamonds.
07:38So to put platinum mounts on top without seeing any, the way that they actually set on rock crystal, it would have been really difficult.
07:59The inside of the winter egg is engraved with frosted pattern, and that's why it creates such a almost like a 3D effect.
08:14When you look at it, it's almost like frosted glass, frosted window.
08:18And inside, when you open the egg, there would be a surprise, the basket with beautiful spring flowers.
08:25And it's symbolic as well, because they represent spring that comes after winter.
08:30So like an element of resurrection, because remember it was present for Easter, a revival, and maybe a little bit of hope.
08:38So it's quite important.
08:40Christis is really honored because we've had it twice for sale before.
08:56So this is the third time it's coming up for that auction.
08:59And each time we sold it in 1994 and 2002, it set the world record for Fabergé.
09:05So it shows you how special this item is, and it's really, really rare.

12:52and it's amazing in its design, in its craftsmanship, the technique that Fabrze used, the history
13:00behind it, everything about the winter egg is so important and so rare as well.
13:22The winter egg is quite special because it was designed by a woman, Alma Pill.
13:37She only designed two imperial Easter eggs, winter egg being one of them, and she was

13:54and she saw that frosted pattern which inspired her to create the snowflake motif.
13:59She designed the whole series of jewellery, but the winter egg is really the ultimate creation
14:04in this style, in this design.
14:28The winter egg is made of raw crystal, as well as the base, and it's set with platinum
14:34mounds covered with tiny rose-cut diamonds.
14:37We have the original invoice from Fabrze, and it actually lists the number of diamonds.
14:42It's 4,508 diamonds on the winter egg, believe it or not.
14:47So it's an absolutely stunning creation.
14:50It would have been really difficult to make something like that.
14:53Rock crystal is quite fragile, so to put platinum mounds on top without seeing the way that
15:00they actually sat on rock crystal, it would have been really difficult.
15:12The inside of the winter egg is engraved with frosted pattern, and that's why it creates
15:16such a almost like a 3D effect.
