ABOUT PRODUCTID 36251
This Art Nouveau sugar spoon by WMF (Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik), crafted at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries in Germany, exemplifies refined tableware design of its era. Made from brass with a silver-plated finish, the spoon features a cool, subtly warm satin-matte surface that quietly reflects light. The bowl is partially covered by a decorative capsule, richly adorned with asymmetrical floral and foliate motifs characteristic of Art Nouveau, infused with Rococo inspiration. The slender handle gently widens towards the end, displaying raised floral ornamentation and a cartouche with a personalized engraved inscription. Its proportions are elegant and balanced; seamless transitions between bowl and handle emphasize both lightness and precision. The reverse bears a clear WMF maker’s mark. The condition is very good, with only minor surface scratches and natural patina – no damage or repairs.This spoon seems to whisper stories from the fin de siècle, recalling an era when the rituals of the table celebrated the artistry of everyday objects. The gentle curves of the ornamentation, delicate floral motifs, and soft sheen of silver-plating embody the spirit of WMF’s Art Nouveau craftsmanship: industrial precision entwined with artistic sensibility. The personalized engraving marks a trace of a former owner, while the natural patina lends a sense of authenticity and the quiet dignity of time passed.The spoon may serve
