As Russian specialist, Marie conducts extensive in depth research. Rare jewels, Fabergé items and other precious objects are placed in historical context by using a wide range of references including 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 a magnificent Russian provenance hidden after decades of obscurity.
