You are viewing a beautiful Antique Circa Late 1800s German WMF Arts & Crafts Aesthetic Movement / Art Nouveau Brass Baluster Vase that has its feature highlight of finely detailed Art Nouveau style garland flowers decoration that circles the top of the vase, while the rest of the vase has been hand-hammered. Expertly crafted with a weighted base.
This vase is different from many produced by the WMF as it is made entirely in brass instead of a mix of copper and brass which forms the majority of WMF. A highly collectible piece that I have priced well below the price of US$500-600 for similar vases. This has the WMF Ostrich Trade Mark stamped on the base which reads "Ostrich over WMF over G" and "58"
Boho or simply eclectic, this is indeed very stylish decor for use in or outdoors. Hardy Brass will not rust away quickly like iron. This is bright, shining and ready to display. Brass will last for generations to come. Metal Art is an investment and will only increase in value as the world’s supplies of high demand metals such as copper diminish & base prices rise. What a treasure!
If this is not for you I also have other unusual Brass, Copper and Bronze items in my Shop. Please go to my store to see the full range.
#WMF HISTORY: WMF is a German Company originally called "Metallwarenfabrik Straub & Schweizer" founded in 1853 in the small town of Geislingen on the river Steige (Geislingen an der Steige) by the miller Daniel Straub and the brothers Schweizer. In 1880 after several successful mergers and acquisitions, of smaller silver plate foundries it was renamed as the "Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik."(WMF), by 1900 WMF was the world's largest producer, exporter of metalware, mainly in Art Nouveau style or "German -Jugendstil", These beautiful designs were manufactured in the WMF Art Studio from 1884 to 1914, under Albert Mayer, a WMF director and Mayer was also their leading designer and sculptor. This company is still active nowadays.
