There’s been a spate of record-breaking auction sales recently and experts at Christie’s in London think we might be about to see another. A legendary Fabergé Imperial Egg, commissioned by Russian emperors to celebrate Easter, is one of the last left in private hands, and it’s now going up for sale for the first time in two decades. Christie's estimates that this 1913 Winter Egg will fetch “in excess of” £20 million ($26 million) on December 2, which would not only set an auction record for a Fabergé egg — it would also obliterate the one the Winter Egg itself set in 2002. CNN's Fiona Sinclair Scott visits Christie's to learn more about this curio.
