Interesting idea .... historically inaccurate, but interesting nonetheless. Eggs such as these would never have been put on display in a shop window. They were all commissioned works that the public never saw. Items of great value like a Faberge Egg would never (EVER) have been placed somewhere that your typical smash and grab thief could get to them. Mind you, it's still a neat image, and a great allegory for the gap between the haves and the have nots, it just wouldn't have actually happened.

Could be worse, could be raining.
