Christie's International will auction a newly-discovered Faberge egg featuring a mechanical, diamond-encrusted cockerel, at the Christie’s International's Russian winter auction in London next month. The Faberge egg is expected to fetch up to $20 million. Peter Carl Faberge presented the egg in 1902 to Baron Edouard de Rothschild as an engagement gift. The cockerel pops out every hour to flap its wings, bob its head and crow.
The egg has been described as unusually large and enameled in pink with gold detailing.
