Forbes' Faberge Egg Collection Up For Auction

Engraçada a justificação, a família Forbes faz jus à sua idiossincrasia:

"The Faberge Collection was one of the great passions of our father's life. The acquisitions, the auctions and its assembly were extraordinary adventures for all of us.

"For the past 14 years, since his death, we have continued to share this wonderful Collection with the public in the Forbes Galleries and in shows around the world. As our father said in his book, More Than I Dreamed: A Lifetime of Collecting, 'I've often told my children I hope that, if they decide to be done with one of the collections, they will put it back on the auction block so that other people can have the same vast fun and excitement that we did in amassing it.'

The family has now decided it is time for us to make this unique treasure trove available to other collectors so they may have the thrill of owning a rare and exquisite work of Faberge. Also, the sale will allow each of us to pursue our own individual interests, something our family has always valued."
