c. 1895 German WMF Silver-Plate Stag Centrepiece – Jugendstil Antlered Deer Sculpture by Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik

$400.00
Discover a striking piece of German metal-working history with this exceptional silver-plate centrepiece by Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik (WMF), Geislingen an der Steige, circa 1890–early 20th century. Standing in poised nobility, the finely modelled stag – antlers raised in majestic form – rests upon a textured base of foliage and rockwork, all rendered in high-quality silver-plated metal alloy. The piece embodies the spirit of the Jugendstil (Art Nouveau) era, with its organic form and fine sculptural detail. A conversation starter rooted in design-history, combining the romance of the chase-lodge motif with the industrial sophistication of WMF’s turn-of-the-century production. For the discerning buyer who values both story and form, this decorative centerpiece offers depth, provenance, and aesthetic presence. Dimensions: 7.5" x 13.5" Condition: Please inspect images carefully. Being a piece of vintage silver-plate metalware, the surface shows age-appropriate patina and wear; no major structural damage noted (but please ask for condition report if needed).
