WMF German Silver-Plate Art Nouveau Centerpiece with Original Glass Insert
WMF German Silver-Plate Art Nouveau Centerpiece with Original Glass Insert, Circa 1920
A fine example of early 20th-century German craftsmanship, this silver-plated centerpiece by WMF (Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik) dates to circa 1920 and reflects the refined elegance of the Art Nouveau period. The oval form is beautifully proportioned, featuring a hammered lower band that contrasts with the smooth, polished upper body. A continuous beaded detail encircles the midsection, while the front is adorned with an ornate repoussé floral medallion—a signature Art Nouveau motif.
This piece retains its original clear glass insert, which fits perfectly inside the silver-plated form and remains in excellent condition with no chips or cracks. Sculptural open-loop handles on each end add both decorative flair and functional ease. The silver plating restored is offering a rich, lustrous surface throughout.
Marked with the WMF hallmark on the underside, this centerpiece is not only a decorative object but also a collectible example of historic German silverwork. Whether used as a planter, table centerpiece, or decorative vessel, it will bring a graceful presence to any interior.
