Rare WMF Jugendstil Brass Spirit Kettle – Signed Antique Art Nouveau Teapot
£ 85.00
On offer is a rare and highly sought-after antique WMF Jugendstil brass spirit kettle, a true statement piece exemplifying the elegance and craftsmanship of early 20th-century German design.
Produced by the renowned German manufacturer Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik (WMF), this kettle is signed, confirming its authenticity and origin. WMF is globally recognized for its superior metalwork, particularly during the Jugendstil (German Art Nouveau) period, which flourished from the late 19th to early 20th century.
This stunning kettle showcases a bold, geometric yet organic design typical of the Jugendstil movement. The hammered brass body is adorned with delicate triangular motifs around the rim, giving it an eye-catching texture. The piece rests securely on an ornate pierced brass stand, complete with a spirit burner beneath—perfect for keeping tea warm during gatherings or display as a centerpiece.
It stands approximately 12 inches tall and retains its original woven wicker handle grips, which add a lovely touch of natural material contrast. Please note, as shown in the images:
- There is a dent on the front base rim (clearly pictured).
- The burner has been replaced at some point in its history but functions well and fits the piece appropriately.
Despite these minor condition notes, the kettle remains in good antique condition, making it an attractive collectible and conversation piece.
