Description

Very pretty art nouveau silver plated card or jewellery tray by WMF dating from c.1905. Modelled as a young woman up to her waist in a lake with a water snake curled around the other side of the water. Nice lilypad and flower detail as well. Marked to the base model number 249 and with a full set of WMF marks, "B" for Britannia plate and "Ox" for oxidised finish.

It measures 24.5cm long, 13cm wide and 8cm high. Condition is good: there has been some wear to the plate coating on the figure, but the under metal is white so there is no colour difference, and so displays well. Light surface wear otherwise.
