Habsburg family jewellery returns
It is currently a hot topic in the media worldwide that objects belonging to the late Emperor Karl, which were thought to be lost, have reappeared. The heirs of the last Austrian emperor were able to save family jewels while fleeing from the Nazis during the Second World War. As a result, culturally and historically significant pieces of the family jewellery survived the turmoil and upheavals of the past century.
The preserved jewellery includes the ‘Florentine’ diamond and other personal items belonging to Empress Maria Theresa, Queen Marie Antoinette and Emperor Franz I.
