Ivan Ekimovich Morozov (1825–1885) was a distinguished Russian goldsmith and jeweller based in St. Petersburg. He founded the firm I. E. Morozov, renowned for its finely crafted works in gold, silver, and enamel of exceptional quality. Following his death, the business continued under the same name and was appointed Purveyor to the Imperial Russian Court. The firm became one of Fabergé’s principal competitors, producing luxury objects, jewellery, and silverware in historicist styles, often distinguished by elaborate enamel decoration and outstanding craftsmanship.
