Wordley Allsopp & Bliss
Wordley, Allsopp and Bliss (WAB) was founded in 1909 in Newark, New Jersey yet can trace its roots back to before 1885 when Henry Allsopp became a jeweler and registered his mark by 1891. Henry had partnered with George and the subsequently became known as George A H Allsopp Inc. The partnership did well together and they changed to Allsopp brothers in 1901. The business expanded and by 1909 The company added Wordley and Bliss to the name officially becoming Wordley Allsopp and Bliss and registered themselves as manufacturing jewelers. In 1915 operating at 473 Washington Street and in 1922 at the same address. By 1922 George had officially taken over the helm and because of such tremendous growth moved their manufacturing to Camp Street in Newark in 1929. The firm was producing top quality jewelry at the time helping major retailers sell their goods often marked with their common maker's mark for WAB and its successor firms is a "W" and a "B" resting on the sloping sides of an "A". The maker's mark is usually stamped along with the purity of the gold on the cross bar or bridge of the cufflinks that they were famous for. Eventually becoming Allsopp and Son and Allsopp and Long. Under the leadership of Edward E. Allsopp the firms merged and in 1938 Allsopp merged again with Arthur Steller becoming Allsopp-Steller at 81 Warren Street Newark, NJ.

Henrik Immanuel Wigström born on 1862 and was a Finnish silver & goldsmith. He was one of the most important Fabergé workmasters along with Michael Perchin. Perchin was the head workmaster from 1886 until his death in 1903, when he was succeeded by his chief assistant Henrik Wigström. These two workmasters were responsible for almost all the imperial Easter eggs. Henrik Wigström was born in Ekenäs, Finland, and was apprenticed to a local Danish born goldsmith named Peter Madsén, a successful manufacturer of silverware who was familiar with the jewellery trade in the city of St. Petersburg, as at one time he had had a workshop there. Once in Madsén's employment, his master's trade with Russia, as well as his numerous business contacts here, brought him to work in St. Petersburg. Goldsmith Werner Elfström employed Wigström as a apprentice on his arrival in the capital in 1875. Wigström became assistant in 1884, at the age of 22, to Perchin, whose shop at that time was already working exclusively for Fabergé. Wigström became head workmaster at Fabergé after Perchin's death in 1903. The number of craftsmen in Wigström's workshop diminished drastically with the outbreak of World War I. By 1918, the Revolution forced the complete closing of the House of Fabergé. Aged 56, Wigström retreated almost empty-handed to his summer house, on Finnish territory, and died at Terijoki in 1923. His art is similar to Perchin's but tends to be in the Louis XVI, Empire, or neo-classical style. Nearly all the Fabergé hardstone animals...Category
