Czar Alexander III started the tradition by presenting an egg to his wife each Easter. His successor, Nicholas II, extended the gift to his wife and mother.<\/p>\n<p>The Romanov royal family ruled Russia for 300 years before it was ousted by the 1917 revolution. Nicholas and his family were executed in 1918.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Bought by a London dealer for 450 pounds when the cash-strapped Communist authorities sold off some of Russia&#8217;s artistic treasures in the 1920s, the egg changed hands several times. It was believed lost for two decades until it was auctioned by Christie&#8217;s in 1994 for more than 7 million Swiss francs ($5.6 million at the time). It sold again in 2002 for $9.6 million.<\/p>\n<p>Now it is expected to surpass the record $18.5 million paid at a 2007 Christie&#8217;s auction for another Faberg\u00e9 egg created for the <a
