Andreane Rellou, with her expertise in both fashion and history, was able to identify two women in Fabergé frames at a British museum. We will discuss her various techniques - that hint at sophisticated forensics approach used outside of the art world. One of the women she identified - turned out to be a relative by marriage to one of the royal women (a Russian duchess) painted by Amalia Kussner. I have included Andreane's story as part of the Searching for Amalia series to highlight the types of research we both do and possibly look at a joint effort in the future.
Andreane is a digital content creator, filmmaker, and historical sleuth based in London, UK. She holds degrees from the Universities of Essex and York, and has a decade's worth of experience in the film industry. In 2024 she went viral on social media for her detective work when she solved a 120-year-old Fabergé mystery at Brighton Museum. Since then, she has collaborated with historians, curators, and institutions (including Bonhams, William Morris Gallery, and the V&A) to lend her unique talents.
Through her love of research and great passion for history, Andreane came to create 'The Three Graces' (2026), a short film inspired by the lives of three forgotten female Pre-Raphaelite artists: Marie Spartali Stillman, Maria Zambaco, and Aglaia Coronio. For more info - Link Here.
As she works to develop this into a long-form TV series, she is involved in the pre-production of numerous other projects, and also co-runs the Wine Dark Short Film Festival. Her discoveries can often be found on her TikTok account: @AndreaneOfTheIsland .
There were at least two articles published about her discoveries:
Smithsonian Magazine - Amateur Sleuth Identifies the Mystery Women in a Museum's Fabergé Frames (link here)
ArtNet - Amateur Sleuth Solves Mystery Behind U.K. Museum's Fabergé Frames (link here).
