About the Item
This charming Jugendstil cork holder by WMF dates back to around 1900 and features the famous Wilhelm Busch characters Max and Moritz. Crafted from silver-plated metal and marked with the WMF ostrich hallmark, this rare piece combines playful storytelling with the refined design language of the Art Nouveau era. The rectangular base supports a circular handle and two removable cork stoppers, each topped with delightful sculptural figures of the mischievous duo. The silver plating has naturally aged over time, giving the piece an authentic patina that adds depth and historical charm. Upon request, the surface can be gently polished to restore its original shine. A true collector’s item for lovers of Jugendstil, German design history, and WMF’s exquisite craftsmanship — perfect for displaying on a bar, sideboard, or in a cabinet of curiosities.

Figurative Toothpick Holder Stand WMF Art Nouveau Antique Silverplated
By WMF Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik
Located in Bad Säckingen, DE
This cute antique Art Nouveau figurative toothpick holder by WMF is a delightful representation of the period's artistic sensibilities. Crafted from silver-plated pewter in a material known as "Britannia Metall," this piece exudes a certain charm and whimsy that is characteristic of Art Nouveau design.
The toothpick holder features a figurative scene depicting a young boy cradling a dachshund puppy in his arms. This tender and endearing scene captures a moment of affection and companionship between the boy and his furry friend. The attention to detail in rendering both the boy's features and the dachshund's playful expression showcases the skilled artistry of the WMF craftsmen.
"Britannia Metall" refers to a high-quality pewter alloy that was favored during the Art Nouveau period for its malleability and durability. The silver-plated finish lends a touch of elegance to the piece, while still allowing the fine details of the figurine to shine through.
WMF, or Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik, was a renowned German metalware company that was at the forefront of Art Nouveau design. Their pieces are highly collectible and sought after for their exceptional craftsmanship and artistic merit.
