This Fabergé cigarette case represents the pinnacle of Russian imperial craftsmanship, combining precious metals with vibrantly colored enamel work typical of the renowned St. Petersburg atelier. Master craftsman Henrik Wigström's meticulous technique is evident in the gem-set gold and silver-gilt mounts that frame the enamel decoration, demonstrating the luxury and technical virtuosity for which Fabergé was celebrated. Created during the final decades of the Russian imperial period, this functional objet d'art exemplifies the house's signature approach of elevating everyday objects into precious works of decorative art.
