WMF (Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik) was one of the most influential German manufacturers of decorative arts from the late 19th century onwards. During the Art Nouveau period, the firm became particularly renowned for its metalwork featuring organic forms, female figures, and botanical ornamentation. These pieces exemplify the era’s ambition to unite art and craftsmanship and are today highly sought after by collectors.
