About the Item

This antique Art Nouveau vanity mirror, possibly by WMF, is a unique piece. The faceted mirror is in very good condition, with only minor signs of age to the rims. The original silver foil mirror is also in very good condition. The beautifully detailed maiden's undulating dress is shaped as a dish or bowl to hold cobs, brushes, or jewelry. A small bird sits atop the mirror, completing the lovely scene. The Art Nouveau movement was known for its flowing, organic lines and use of natural motifs, such as flowers, plants, and animals. This mirror is a perfect example of the Art Nouveau style, with its curved lines, detailed maiden, and overall flowing lines. The mirror may be a prototype because it is more and better handmade than other antique WMF products of this type. This suggests that it was never put into mass production, making it even more rare and valuable. Overall, this well-preserved antique vanity mirror is a fantastic museum piece and a valuable addition to any collection.

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. This antique toothpick...
