ABOUT PRODUCTID 11686
This early 20th-century WMF fruit basket exemplifies the spirit of the Jugendstil, uniting refined craftsmanship with decorative artistry. Crafted from silver-plated brass, the piece displays a cool, silvery hue with patches of patina in blue, brown, and gray, lending an iridescent and varied texture that shifts from glossy to matte. The wide, shallow bowl is crowned by a tall, gracefully arched handle, each element adorned with intricate openwork friezes of flowing vegetal lines and stylized ribbons and floral motifs typical of Art Nouveau. Inside, a thick, clear glass liner fits precisely within the metal frame, its smooth finish echoing the basket’s meticulous construction. The seamless joints and finely detailed metalwork highlight the high standard of WMF’s craftsmanship.

Every detail resonates with the story of an age that valued harmony between line and
