Gorgeous antique Art Nouveau 5-piece Tea & Coffee Service designed & made circa 1905, by the renowned WMF (Wurttembergische Metallwarenfabrik) Geislingen, Germany.
The fluid & elegant forms are well illustrated in the listing photos. The condition is pretty incredible; zero damage to note throughout.
The set has been well-kept and minimally used over its nearly 120yrs, showing flawless gilt wash interior of the lidded sugar bowl & cream jug. The hinged lids to the coffee & tea pots retain smooth movement & sound form overall. Gorgeous decoration to rims and sculptural finials.
This is an exceptional example of the high design & manufacturing quality of WMF in its true heyday. Ideal for intended use & displays impeccably. No tray is offered in this listing.
Marked appropriate to production with the original WMF 'ostrich' mark & accompanying hallmarks; NOT the later appearing ostrich mark for export to France. This set is wonderful. All is needs is a rubbing w/appropriate polishing cloth.
