Thank you, Dr. Géza von Habsburg for your wonderful video on Fabergé beautiful objects.

So very beautiful ! The artistry it took to creat those eggs, and the time !! Such a wonderful video. Learned a lot too.

Thankyou so much for uploading! Trawled through so many 2-3min clips of this n that relating to the wonderful works of Faberge..and then i stumbled on this scholarly hour long presentation!

Completely fascinating. Thank you for the upload.

A fantastic performance by His Imperial and Royal Highness Archduke Geza!

Fantastic upload. Much appreciated!

Totally enthralling story teller, what I would not give to hear another lecture by Dr. Geza on the Romanovs themselves!

Nice to hear Dr von Habsburg, although I knew most of the content beforehand.

Wow, this is so so so good. Very interested in Faberge and Russian history

This man has a lot of humor, not like you can say about other Germans.😅 Great lecture and thanks for posting. 🙂

thank you, great lecture

Fantastic, thank you

The dowager empress did not walk ahead of Nicholas. As a dowager empress ranked higher than the reigning empress consort, she would enter on the arm of the emperor.

Indeed. Probably he meant to say that she walked ahead of the Empress.( which is true)

david busic right, and Alexis would follow

Impressionante!!

This photo, the posing, the period, reminds me of 1 I have seen of Frank Lloyd Wright. Interesting

Have any more of the lost eggs been found or could be recreated? Mike SW Florida?

The tiara around 23:35 isn't the one which was owned by Empress Josephine ??

What a missed opportunity for the VMFA to not have the speaker at least touch on how the Faberge collection came to the museum in Richmond. Disappointing.

32:40 Hoxha's Family Collection?

The archduke is an extraordinary speaker erudite, fine enchanting....it is von not van please mr director

The Queen of Sweden (Silvia) have Faberge ?? have never seen any photos..the Faberge in the Thai royal collection are usually Buddhas that are not on public display.

He unwisely chose to lecture without the benefit of written notes, and made some slight mistakes. I think he meant to say the King of Sweden or the Swedish royal family and not , queen of Sweden(Silvia). That royal family probably received pre-revolution, Faberge items from the czar, or from family members, or subjects such as the Swedish / Russian Nobel family who were very significant Faberge customers, or from direct purchases.

very interesting but a better speaker would add points to this video

Добрый вечер!!! ккаким образом можно выяснить, какую аристократическую (дворянскую ) В период революции вырезали , как считают все,. На сколько я знаю пра-прабабушка была вроде католичкой. И их глушили и те и другие. В то время у служанки родился сын. Так вот она рескуя ценой своеи жизни, сохранила род. Взяв прадеда на Урал и выдаа его за своего сына. С тех самых пор он носил фамилию Александров . На самом деле мне даже жутко. Ведь с какой-то целью было небходимо искоренить род. При том всех!!! что нн было потомков.

Has the director of the museum not been told that von and van are two different things how ignorant

Made quite a few mistakes in his speech. Revolution of 1916, Swedish bank, coronation in St Petersburg ?!!!

Knowledgeable lecturer, but there were too many careless mistakes due to the speaker not using notes. Nobody has perfect memory, and even the greatest lecturers should use written notes. Some errors have been mentioned. Here are more: 56:31 That’s not Empress Alexandra’s sister. That’s Queen Alexandra of the UK, sister of Empress Maria Feod. 52:26 “Faberge was not part of the exhibition” is incorrect. He should have said that Faberge items were exhibited but were not a part of the competition. 1:01:15 error. When Edward died in 1910, it was his wife queen Alexandra, and not his daughter in law queen Mary who returned the cigarette case to Mrs. Keppel, the king’s mistress. 10:01:39 error: Mrs Keppel did not bequeath it on her death, but presented it to Queen Mary in 1936 which was 21 years before Alice Keppel died in 1947.

Starts talking about Putin: Your time is up.

i never quite understood why Americans were collecting European art and not their own....I guess because they do not have any

That's hilarious considering the fact that your museums are chock full of historical pieces you marched in and STOLE from other nations. Americans simply prefer to buy what they collect, rather than steal it.
