What an incredible find. Thanks for sharing.
There’s a cool NY Times article on this too. Much more background info.

I’m currently working in artifact conservation and I would love to be one of the conservators responsible for vetting the wear on these pieces from their storage mishap. It would be such a nerdy professional honour to get that opportunity!
Edit: Putting my professional selfishness aside, I’m amped that these were found. I hope they get a sweet museum display at some point! What a find!
Wow! That’s really cool.
If you have an interest in the Hapsburgs, the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna is mind boggling. The jewels and art – which must value in the billions – is amazing.
Fascinating that Canada, specifically Quebec, was a refuge for the Hapsburg offspring. They opposed Nazi rule despite not being personally persecuted by them.
A forgotten suitcase?
Wasn’t there an article a month or so ago saying someone from the family always knew where they were all the time so they were never lost.
I guess they weren’t actually lost then!
Wow, an amazing story. Thank goodness they kept up the payments on the safety deposit box.
