WMF Art Nouveau Centerpiece – Exquisite Silver-Plated Design with Acid-Etched Glass

More information

This WMF Art Nouveau Centerpiece, crafted in silver-plated pewter and accompanied by its original acid-etched clear glass bowl, was produced between the late 19th century and the early 20th century by the renowned German manufacturer WMF (Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik). It exemplifies the organic elegance and technical refinement that defined German Art Nouveau at the height of its artistic development.

The silver-plated frame displays a dynamic and sculptural design: flowing lines, stylized floral motifs, and precise cast metalwork that demonstrate WMF’s mastery in creating high-quality decorative objects. The glass bowl—completely original—remains clear and luminous, featuring a delicate acid-etched floral pattern that harmonizes perfectly with the naturalistic movement of the metal mount.

This genuine WMF Art Nouveau Centerpiece seamlessly blends the functionality of everyday objects with the aesthetic sensibilities of Europe’s turn-of-the-century artistic culture. Its sculptural presence and exceptional balance between form and purpose make it a standout decorative piece.
