BRONZE FIGURINE OF A POLICEMAN, PAINTED WITH COLD ENAMELS AFTER A

A rare bronze figurine created after the hardstone sculpture model by Henrik Wigström, one of the leading craftsmen of the House of Carl Fabergé. Hand-painted with cold enamels, the figurine depicts a Russian policeman in ceremonial uniform, typical of the Imperial law enforcement service. The sculptural detailing of the attire emphasizes the stately and recognizable image of the official: a long black coat with leather crossbelt, peaked cap with golden trim, and decorations symbolizing state honors. Particular attention is given to the face, with finely rendered features, expressive blue eyes and distinctive moustache, giving the figure a lifelike and realistic presence. Similar figurines were popular among collectors and high-ranking officials of the early 20th century and were often presented as exclusive gifts and prestigious souvenirs.
