“One problem with this exquisite box and it really breaks my heart and that is in that corner it has sustained a fracture to the rock crystal.”
Evaluating the item, John revealed: “If it was in perfect condition I think it’s worth £8,000 to £10,000.
“Let me be a little careful and say £5,000 to £8,000 with the damage it’s sustained.”
“To find out it’s Fabergé is amazing,” the guest quipped and his mother replied: “I feel the same, actually I can’t believe it.”
Antiques Roadshow continues on BBC One on Sunday at 8pm.
