Art Nouveau Silver Centerpiece was created by the German company WMF, in around 1906.

Art Nouveau took root in many European countries, so it is no wonder that it gradually developed different names. In Germany and Austria, it was called Jugendstil, with a special branch of Wiener Secession in Vienna, while the Italian name is Stile Floreale. The English called it the Arts and Crafts movement.




The firm of WMF (Wurttembergische Metallwarenfabrik ) produced hundreds and hundreds of household objects in a high-quality silver plate that celebrated the Art Nouveau and Jugendstil movements and promoted the fashion by selling their pieces all throughout Eastern and Western Europe as well as South America in the early part of the 20th Century.
