Just in time for Easter - I am talking with Sophie Law, a Bonhams Russian expert and Faberge Egg aficionado, oh yes - and fellow author.

Tune in to learn everything about the most beautiful eggs in the world. Including the extraordinary story of a missing egg that was almost melted down, but instead proven to be Faberge - and sold for £20m! And one of the Queen's exquisite eggs which forever had been thought to be by Boucheron, but instead was a Tsar Imperial Faberge Egg. Why Tsar Alexander III decided to start this tantalizing tradition of giving his wife Tsarina Maria Feodorovna an Easter by Faberge in 1885, and how they perhaps started to symbolise the extravagance of the Romanovs, and their ultimate and devastating downfall.
