Elevate your table or bar setting with this exquisite 20th-century German Art Nouveau (Jugendstil) pewter centerpiece, attributed to WMF (Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik), richly detailed with the organic motifs that defined the era’s decorative metalwork. Sculptural, elegant, and collectible, the piece showcases a beautifully modeled maiden sitting atop a naturalistic pedestal, gracefully poised with a bird resting on one arm and a cluster of flowers held in the other—a symbolic celebration of harmony, beauty, and nature.
The maiden rises from a dynamic base formed as a double-dish serving platform, each dish shaped with stylized leaves, berries, and flowing scrollwork ideal for serving sweets, fruits, nuts, chocolates, or functioning as a table centerpiece, bar server, or decorative accent. Winding around the pedestal is an expressive ivy and berries branch, echoing the botanical themes central to Jugendstil design.
The underside bears two marks:
• A circular maker’s mark featuring the rear-view flying angel with trumpet and letters A D; a mark associated with 20th-century German pewter workshops linked to WMF.
• The impressed form number 9840 within a double-walled circle, denoting the model reference.
Dimensions
• Length: 17.5"
• Height: 10"
• Depth: 7.75"
• Weight: 4.5 lbs
A striking example of German Art Nouveau metalwork, this sculptural centerpiece brings both artistic presence and functional versatility—perfect for entertaining, displaying, or enhancing a collection of pewter and WMF-related decorative objects.
