Wiskemann is the most exclusive Belgian manufacturer of silver-plated items. Otto-Leonard Wiskemann descends from an aristocratic German family of goldsmiths and jewelers. His career began with an internship at Christofle. After this internship, he was able to further improve Christofle's process and established himself in Brussels in 1872. During that period, Wiskemann produced the highest quality silver-plated white metal, which could be found worldwide. All pieces were handmade in the ateliers in Brussels (Belgium) and Zurich (Switzerland). An excerpt from the 1908 catalog can be found among the photos of the ateliers. Wiskemann sold his items not only in the Galleries Innovation, the Belgian equivalent of Harrods or Lafayette at the time, but also in their own shop on the Louizalaan and in their own shop in Zurich. Wiskemann received significant international recognition, including the 'Medaille d'argent' in 1885 at the international competition in Antwerp, the 'Diplôme d'honneur' in Brussels (1897), and twice the 'Grand Prix' in his category, in Liège in 1905 and in Milan in 1906. In the culinary world and at the Culinary Competition, Wiskemann had already reached the top with gold medals and honorary diplomas in 1888, 1889, 1899, 1900, 1904, and 1905. The extensive list up to 1908 can be found among the photos. The company was later continued by Otto and Albin Wiskemann, and then by Bruno Wiskemann. The Wolfers family (known from Philippe Wolfers and the Wolfers Frères - court suppliers to the Belgian royal family) bought a majority of the company during this period. Later, the companies of the Delheid family were also added to this group. This is a piece of Belgian history of excellent quality; it can be compared to Christofle, Robbe & Berking, Ercuis, Puiforcat, Wilkens, etc.
