拍品专文

Henrik Wigström (1862-1923) took over the Fabergé workshop of Mikhail Perchin in 1903, continuing the exacting tradition of the finest Fabergé workmasters. Amongst some of his greatest achievements were a number of the Imperial Easter eggs, and cigarette cases commissioned by the Imperial family and others. His fine goldwork and use of enamelling are both renowned.
