The picture above is a 2 1/4-inch Faberge chair made of gold and enamel. It sold for $2.28 million at a Sotheby's auction on April 17, well above the estimate of $1 million.
Yes, the Russian jeweler Carl Fabrege was more well known for his brilliantly designed eggs. The most well known collector was the late Malcolm S. Forbes, founder of Forbes and the father of Steve Forbes. (The entire collection was sold in 2004.) But Faberge also made clocks, desk pieces, silverware and jewelery, among other things.
