ABOUT PRODUCTID 1644
These German table grape scissors, crafted by WMF in 1905, are a quintessential example of Art Nouveau design. Made from white brass plated with silver, they present a cool, silvery tone softened by a subtle, warm patina that speaks to their age. The handles are richly adorned with high-relief motifs: grape clusters and vine leaves entwine the generously sized, rounded finger loops in flowing, asymmetrical lines, characteristic of the early twentieth century's focus on organic ornamentation. Matte surfaces alternate with gentle, lustrous highlights on the raised reliefs, while the robust hinge and short, wide blades reflect a careful balance of utility and artistry. The piece bears the iconic WMF ostrich hallmark, attesting to its provenance and era. Measuring 14.5 x 5.5 x 2.5 cm, the scissors remain in very good condition, with a uniform patina and only minor, age-appropriate signs of wear—no damage or notable loss of plating. These scissors carry the voice of early modernity and Art Nouveau: an era when the table became a stage for ritual, and everyday objects were elevated to the status of small works of art. The silvery gleam and organic vine motif evoke the refined salons of the early 1900s, where each detail reflected reverence for craftsmanship and nature-inspired aesthetics. Their form suggests the quiet ritual of serving grapes—a moment where decor and function achieved perfect harmony. The WMF grape scissors can be used as a refined accent in classic fruit service—placed on a crisp tablecloth amidst silver cutlery and crystal glasses. They suit both historically styled settings and more eclectic interiors, where they might be paired with minimalist porcelain or contemporary tableware, creating a subtle conversation between past and present.
