Webbs Princess Plate London
Sheffield, Art Deco, circa 1880
This stunning antique silver-plated egg coddler stand by Mapple Princess Plate, London
Sheffield exemplifies the finest craftsmanship of the late 19th century. Designed in a refined Art Deco style circa 1880, this remarkable piece combines both functionality and aesthetic elegance.
The set features four silver-plated egg holders with four matching spoons, all gracefully presented on a finely detailed pierced basket stand resting on four balled feet. The central ring handle provides balance and ease of serving, while the sculpted edge and polished finish add sophistication to the overall design.
Each egg cup measures approximately 2 1/3" in height by 1 7/8" in diameter, and the basket itself measures 6 1/2" in height by 6 3/4" in width by 7 3/4" in depth. All components — including the basket, spoons, and egg holders — are clearly stamped with the maker’s marks, attesting to their authenticity and quality.
This luxurious silver-plated set remains in excellent antique condition, with minor age-related patina that enhances its vintage charm. It makes a perfect addition to elegant breakfast tables, fine dining collections, or luxury interiors, and serves equally well as a decorative display piece.
We offer professional polishing and engraving removal upon request (additional charge; shipping delay applies).
A matching toast holder, two pots with pearl inlays, an extra tray, cream jug, salt shaker, and lidded bacon warmer server can also be included as part of a coordinated breakfast silver set, available at extra cost.

WMF
In 1853, Daniel Straub, a miller from Geislingen, joined forces with the Schweizer Brothers to form the "Metallwarenfabrik Straub & Schweizer" in Geislingen.
This was the second company to be founded by Straub - previously in 1850, from the nucleus of a small repair workshop, which he had set up to work on the construction of Geislingen's famous railway incline, he had founded Maschinenfabrik Geislingen. This company was involved mainly in manufacturing mill turbines and traded throughout Europe.
As early as 1862, the young company distinguished itself by winning a gold medal at the World Exhibition in London. In 1866, following the departure of the brothers Louis and Friedrich Schweizer, the company was renamed Straub & Sohn" (Straub & Son). The company showroom, built in 1868 in Berlin, gradually evolved to become the company's first retail outlet. Three years later, the company was already employing 60 workers. By 1880, the number of employees had grown to approximately 200 and the company was already producing 960 different items.
1880 saw the merger between Straub & Sohn and "Ritter & Co.", Esslingen, to form a public limited company under the name of Wurttembergische Metallwarenfabrik. At the time of the merger, Ritter & Co.'s Esslingen factory was already using the electroplating method of silver plating and had the more modern production facilities at its disposal. Straub's company, on the other hand, was the more profitable of the two.
1892 saw the development of a special technique for silver plating cutlery, whereby the silver is distributed in a way that, at the points of the cutlery most exposed to wear and tear, the coating is twice as thick as elsewhere. This process was patented and is still in use today. Known nowadays as 'Perfect Hard Silver plating' the technique remains exclusive to WMF.
Under Carl Hugele the company gained international standing. At the turn of the century the factory in Geislingen employed 3,000 workers. By 1910, this number had already grown to 4,000, making WMF the largest company in Wurttemberg at this time. Sales catalogues were printed in twelve languages. Subsidiary companies in London, Warsaw and Vienna opened up export markets.
Under the direction of Albert Mayer the WMF studio was influenced by the art nouveau style. The product range was modernized and considerably extended. In 1905 WMF acquired a majority holding of the Cologne company Orivit AG, which manufactured products from "Orivit", a tin alloy.
As of 1925, products created by the Contemporary Decorative Products Department (NKA) made their debut on the market. This department was set up under the direction of Hugo Debach in order to establish the name of WMF amongst consumers interested in art and design. This department was responsible for producing the special "Ikora" finish, which has earned an important place in the annals of art history. The "Ikora" brand name referred to a specific method of treating the surface of the metal, by which layers of coating were applied in a partly chemical and partly heat induced process. A host of newly developed hand-finishing techniques enhanced the possibilities for adding decorative flourishes to the products. Despite being mass produced, every item looked as if it had been individually crafted.
At the end of the war the company had lost its foreign assets, associated factories...
