Description
This elegant walking stick is topped by an exquisite Fabergé handle enveloped in white guilloché enamel and yellow gold engraved in a regal laurel motif. Crafted with undeniable charm and taste by the iconic Fabergé artist Henrik Wigström, this handle is emblematic of Fabergé’s most spectacular work. With its luminescent finish and delicate gold gilt, the cane demonstrates the pinnacle of refinement.
The House of Fabergé was founded in 1842 in Saint Petersburg, Russia, by Gustav Faberge. In 1872, Peter Carl Fabergé took over his father’s small jewelry atelier and transformed it into the world’s largest decorative arts enterprise of its kind. The firm built a devoted clientele, including members of the Romanov Imperial family, for whom they crafted their most precious pieces and the firm’s celebrated Easter eggs. In 1917, the Russian Revolution brought an end to the Romanov dynasty, the exile of Peter Carl Fabergé to Switzerland and a definitive halt to the original House of Fabergé. In the wake of the Revolution, many Fabergé treasures were lost or destroyed. This walking stick is exemplary of the high-quality, luxury creations of the firm that remain prized by collectors.
