I got to see some at an exhibition from a Virginian museum and they were really stunning in person.

The museum had tea service after the exhibition and this guy in line was loudly proclaiming how he only went to the exhibition to see "how those bastards lived in luxury before they got their just end" because his family in Russia "were peasants who toiled in labor all day!!!"

They have replica Faberge imperial eggs! Most are mini replicas, presumably to make them affordable so more people buy, but others are to scale.

I've had the opportunity to see some of them when they came through my city's museum, something so beautifully well crafted isn't decadent. even up close they hardly look real, that's how incredible they are.

upvote!!!

"Decadence" ? You wouldn't be able to afford one.

Something's beauty or craftsmanship doesn't determine it's decadence.
