Book Description
A reprint of a very rare 1906 WMF catalogue. Original copies are now virtually unobtainable, and the complete catalogue is reprinted here for the first time with a detailed historical introduction by Graham Dry, a noted authority on nineteenth- and twentieth-century decorative arts. For the collector, this book will provide a fascinating insight into the type and style of domestic metalwork that was available at the height of the Art Nouveau period. With details which include size, finish, and cost, the descriptions will be a major source of information.
