A sophisticated and magnificent coffee and tea set from the renowned German manufacturer WMF , dating from approximately 1900 to 1910. This five-piece set, which includes a coffee pot, teapot, creamer bowl, sugar bowl, and an imposing tray, is a testament to the design and craftsmanship of the Art Nouveau era. -Origin: Germany (WMF) (Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik) for the coffee/tea pieces; the tray bears a different mark, but its style and period align perfectly with the rest of the set. -Period: c. 1900-1910, reflecting the transition and aesthetic of the Art Nouveau movement. -Style and Ornamentation: The design exhibits clear Art Nouveau influences, with elegant lines and subtle yet distinctive ornamentation. Each piece in the coffee and tea service features a finely engraved decorative band with stylized plant or floral motifs, characteristic of the organic elegance of the era. The tray handles, with their elaborate curls and scrolls, complement this aesthetic and add a touch of opulence. -Material and Technique: Made of high-quality silver-plated metal, a popular technique at the time for creating luxurious pieces at more accessible prices than solid silver. The silver plating technique ensures a lasting shine and a distinguished presence. -Measurements: *Large coffee pot: H22.5cm x Length (handle to spout) 21cm x Diameter (at the middle of the widest bulb) 12cm (more measurements in the photos) *Teapot: H16.5cm x Length (handle to spout) 19.5cm x Diameter (at the middle of the widest bulb) 12.3cm (more measurements in the photos) *Sugar bowl: H12.5cm x Length (handle to handle) 13.7cm x Diameter (at the middle of the widest bulb) 10.5cm (more measurements in the photos) *Milk jug: H9.8cm x Length (handle to spout) 10.8cm x Diameter (at the middle of the widest bulb) 7.8cm (more measurements in the photos) *Tray: 41,2cm x 22.6cm (more measurements in the photos) -Condition: This set has been preserved For over a century, this set has retained the charm and patina of its age. *Tray: Shows several surface dents or dings, visible in the images, which tell the story of its use and add character without compromising its functionality or overall beauty. *Large Carafe (coffee pot): Shows two dents on its body, as detailed in the provided photographs, in the yellow circles. *The rest of the set (teapot, creamer, and sugar bowl) are in very good overall condition, with the normal wear and tear of an antique piece.
