Henrik Wigström (1862-1923) was Fabergé's last and most prolific Chief Workmaster. All the Imperial Easter Eggs between
1904 and 1917 were made under his supervision and nine of them bear his hallmark. The elegance of his work combined
with the focus on Empire and Louis XVI styles make his work readily identifiable.
