A Faberge jeweled Imperial Russian 56k (14K) Gold Egg pendant
Signed: Signed with work master Initials and 56 Imperial Russian Gold mark Workmaster initials H.W for Henrik Wigstrom (1862-1923) – workmaster mark H.W. wm-hw – active 1903-1917
He inherited the Perkhin workshop after the death of his friend, and became the third and last senior workmaster responsible for most of the Tsar Imperial Easter eggs for the years 1904-1917. In the McFerrin Collection the Wigstrom workshop is represented by a two-sided Louis XVI Fire-Screen Frame with photographs of Tsar Nicholas and the Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna of a later vintage. Different colored golds depict the floral motives. The various colors are made through the addition of copper, silver, zinc, iron, etc., to form an alloy, for example, green gold is 75 parts of pure gold to 25 parts of silver.
