This cabinet provides two drawers of space for the serving cutlery and the dinner, fish, and dessert cutlery. Two pull-out compartments offer space for the knives. The cabinet is in excellent condition, with original brass fittings.

All pieces marked with [OW] for Orfevrerie Wiskemann - [100/60/x..]
Due to the weight of the case, it will be personally delivered within the Netherlands, Belgium, Northern France and Western Germany. Outside of these areas, insured shipping via UPS.
In 1872 Otto Leonard Wiskemann, a member of a German family with a long history in silver-smithing, established a workshop at Rue des Longs Chariots in Brussels. In the preceding years he had worked as a pupil in Paris, where he learned the trade. He had also witnessed the introduction of electroplated silverware, introduced to continental Europe by Charles Christofle from England. With this experience and knowledge, Otto managed to start a company in the 1870s that would later grow into Belgium’s best-known silversmith and a symbol of quality. The heyday lasted between the two world wars. The company eventually went under in the 1970s; a century of Belgian silversmithing history came to an end.

Because sifting through history is my real passion, I will do everything I can to trace the origin of objects down to the smallest detail. Our focus lies on silverware and silver-plated cutlery, although we enthusiastically buy a wide range of antiques and vintage from the 18th through the 20th century.
To expand the collection, we are constantly looking for splendor, quirks, antiques & curiosities. We are always on the lookout for silverware from famous manufacturers such as Christofle, Ercuis, Wiskemann, van Kempen & Begeer and many more.
