Claim
Matilda Geddings Gray Foundation, housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, until 2021
Correction

This is outdated: the Danish Palaces Egg is currently on view at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, not only there 'until 2021.'

Full reasoning

The article says the Danish Palaces Egg was housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art only until 2021. The Met’s current object record contradicts that: it states the work is “On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 555” and “On loan to The Met.” That means the egg is presently at the Met, so the claim that it was housed there only until 2021 is no longer accurate.

Claim
Of the 52 known Fabergé eggs, 46 have survived to the present day.
Correction

This mixes up imperial eggs with Fabergé eggs overall. There are more than 52 known Fabergé eggs; 52 refers to the imperial series, not the total number of Fabergé eggs.

Full reasoning

The statement says there are only 52 known Fabergé eggs in total. That is incorrect. The 52 figure refers to the imperial Easter eggs associated with the Russian imperial family, not to all Fabergé eggs. Official Fabergé material distinguishes the imperial series from additional non-imperial eggs; the company notes there are 50 Imperial Easter Eggs and also 10–12 non-imperial eggs. Smithsonian Magazine likewise reports that up to 69 Fabergé eggs were produced. So describing 52 as the total number of known Fabergé eggs conflates the imperial subset with the larger body of Fabergé eggs.

Claim
The State of Qatar
Correction

This owner attribution is outdated. After the Winter Egg’s December 2, 2025 Christie's sale, Fabergé said it went to a private collector.

Full reasoning

In the location table, the article lists “The State of Qatar” as the owner of the Winter Egg. That is outdated. Christie’s records show the Winter Egg was sold in London in December 2025, and Fabergé’s own post-sale note says “a private collector became the new custodian of the Fabergé Winter Egg.” So the article’s present-tense owner listing is no longer correct after that sale.
