WMF Art Nouveau Copper & Brass Ewer or Jug – Rare Floral Relief Design, c.1900

WMF Art Nouveau Copper & Brass Ewer / Jug – Rare Floral Relief Design, c.1900

A particularly elegant WMF Art Nouveau copper and brass ewer or jug, dating to circa 1900, featuring a highly attractive and relatively rare floral Art Nouveau design in raised relief.

Standing approximately 33 cm (13 inches) tall, this impressive antique WMF ewer has the flowing, organic lines and stylised botanical decoration characteristic of the Art Nouveau period, making it an excellent example of late 19th / early 20th-century European decorative metalwork.

The body is beautifully decorated with floral and botanical motifs in relief, giving the surface considerable depth and visual interest. The combination of copper and brass, together with the sculptural floral decoration, creates a particularly attractive decorative effect.

The ewer remains in original antique condition and shows signs of age and previous use, including surface marks, light wear and some slight dents to the body and foot rim, as shown in the photographs. These imperfections are consistent with its age and history and do not detract from the overall elegance, proportions or decorative appeal of this fine WMF piece.

The underside is fully marked with the WMF trade mark, together with the number 105, which is believed to be the pattern or model reference. The WMF mark provides important attribution to Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik (WMF), one of the most highly regarded German manufacturers of Art Nouveau and Jugendstil decorative metalware.

A superb opportunity to acquire an original circa 1900 WMF Art Nouveau ewer, particularly appealing to collectors of WMF antiques, Art Nouveau metalware, Jugendstil, antique copper and brass, decorative arts and European silver-plated or mixed-metal wares.
