Johan Viktor Aarne (1863–1934)
Born in Tampere, Finland, Aarne trained as a goldsmith before moving to St. Petersburg, where he worked for August Holmström and Michael Perkhin. By the 1890s he had established his own workshop, producing silver-mounted glass and ceramic objects for Fabergé, often in an Art Nouveau style that earned him the nickname “Our Lalique.” His works were favored by Emperor Nicholas II and Empress Alexandra. In 1904 Aarne returned to Finland, setting up a workshop in Vyborg, where he worked until his death.
