The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

WMF (Wurttembergische Metallwarenfabrik) is a German manufacturer established in 1853, renowned for producing Art Nouveau and Art Deco silver-plated tableware, hollowware, and decorative metal items during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Items from this era typically feature a base metal core, such as Britannia metal or nickel silver, which is electroplated with a thin surface layer of fine silver to achieve a polished finish.

Authentic pieces generally display stamped makers marks along the base or underside, including variations of the WMF initials, running ostrich marks, or silver-plating proportion stamps such as I/O or EPNS.

A decorative silver-plated dish can be positioned on a sideboard, desk, or bedside table to serve as a catch-all tray for jewellery, coins, or small desk accessories.

Silver-plated items should be cleaned gently using a soft cotton cloth and non-abrasive silver polish, avoiding harsh dipping solutions that can wear down the delicate silver plating.
