Marie conducts extensive research on certain items. Rare jewels, for example or Fabergé items and other precious objects are placed in historical context by using a wide range of references. These may include Russian and other archives, many of which are inaccessible to the general public. In Fit for a Russian Prince, the Galitzine Tea Service, for example, Marie recently rediscovered in France a magnificent Russian provenance that had been hidden for decades.
