About this seller
Private sellerProduct description
Manufacturer: WMF (Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik)
Model/Design: Series 2500 (Classic Bauhaus/Art Deco Design)
Design: Atelier Kurt Mayer (circa 1930)
Material: High-quality silver-plated (90 silver plating/WMF patent)
Special Feature: High-quality knife blades from Zwilling Solingen with a special "Friodur" ice-hardening edge!
For sale is a true design classic from the Bauhaus era: a 30-piece cutlery set from WMF's iconic Series 2500. The timeless, clean-lined Art Deco design originates from the renowned Atelier Kurt Mayer.
The spoons and forks bear the original, deep WMF hallmarks, including the traditional gram weights for the high-quality silver plating:
[45] on the tablespoons
[30] on the dinner forks
[18] on the dessert forks and dessert spoons
A special highlight for collectors of this set: The knife blades feature the rare "WMF Friodur" hallmark with the Zwilling logo (the two men). These special blades were ice-hardened at Zwilling's traditional factory in Solingen, making them extremely durable, flexible, and sharp.
A rare and, at the time, very expensive collaboration between two traditional German brands!
The set is designed for 6 people and includes:
6 dinner forks
6 dinner knives (with Zwilling Friodur blades)
6 tablespoons (soup spoons)
6 dessert forks (cake forks)
6 dessert spoons (coffee spoons)
Includes the elegant red cutlery box shown (velvet inlay)
Condition & Patina:
The cutlery is in good, used condition. As can be clearly seen in the pictures, the silver-plated pieces have developed a typical silver patina (they have a characteristic tarnish). This is a completely normal, natural process for genuine silver cutlery and not a defect. For those who don't like the matte vintage look:
The patina can easily be completely removed with a standard silver dip or silver polishing cloth, restoring the set to a mirror-like shine. The set can be fully polished in a silver bath (without chemicals or polish) before shipping upon request – or it can be left in its charming vintage condition.
Here are the lengths again:
Knives: approx. 20.3 cm
Large forks: approx. 18.3 cm
Large spoons (dinner spoons): approx. 20.5 cm
Cake forks: approx. 15.5 cm
Coffee spoons: approx. 13.5 cm
Shipping: The set will be shipped well-padded and securely packaged as an insured parcel with tracking.
Private sale: The sale is final and excludes any liability for defects, warranty, or returns.
