During the Russian revolution of 1917, many Russians emigrated and took their valuable collections with them. Some items which were lost by Russia in those days still possess a value of universal importance. People collecting antiques are ready to pay millions at auction for such things. Jeweled Fabergé eggs are among these treasures; for instance, Rothshild's Fabergé Egg was auctioned off at Christie's for £8,9 million. Russian imperial art is widely represented in the Hillwood Estate's collection, Museum & Gardens, which is located in Washington, DC. Along with 80 Fabergé pieces, one can find a wonderfully decorated Imperial Catherine the Great Easter Egg.
