WMF Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik
The fine brass, copper and silver metalware produced by distinguished manufacturer Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik (WMF) has adorned the tabletops of restaurants, hotels and homes around the world. WMF is especially prized by collectors for its Art Nouveau works of the late 19th century and Art Deco pieces manufactured throughout the early 20th century.
WMF traces its beginnings to 1880 when the merger of Straub & Sohn and Ritter & Co. formed the public limited company Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik. The company initially focused on tableware and decorative pieces, such as vases and planters. In 1892, WMF introduced its patented “perfect hard silver plating,” a technology that distributes twice as much silver to the sections of cutlery that experience the most wear, allowing the whole piece to hold its luster longer than other silver-plated products.
In 1905, WMF acquired a majority holding of Orivit AG, a company in Cologne that manufactured products from a tin alloy, further expanding its range of materials. By 1910, its main facility in Geislingen, Germany, employed 4,000 workers. It had branches in Vienna, Warsaw and London, and printed a catalog in 12 languages.
As a German business, WMF experienced extensive asset loss in the aftermath of the world wars. However, by 1950, its main facility once again had a workforce of more than 3,000 employees, and its high-quality products returned to popularity. There was an increase in demand for its Cromargan cutlery as well as work by WMF’s preeminent lighting designer, Wilhelm Wagenfeld.
By the 1960s, WMF’s main facility had 5,800 employees. More factories were opened to keep up with demand. WMF is now one of the largest manufacturers of metalware in the world and continues to produce pieces of superb quality. The company has over 200 branches in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, and owns branches in 40 other countries.

XXL Wilhelm White Wagenfeld Bauhaus Sconce Double Wall Light by Linder Germany
By Wilhelm Wagenfeld, Lindner
Located in Vienna, AT
At the outset, we’d like to point out that this wall lamp is the largest model of its kind—please refer to the photo with a standard-sized version for comparison. We don’t often use the word “rare,” because rarity is subjective, but this particular size is certainly not something you come across every day.
This is a Midcentury Modern double-socket wall lamp or sconce, designed by Wilhelm Wagenfeld in the 1950s. Its form resembles a zeppelin or cigar, crafted from porcelain with a white glaze and topped with two white opaline glass shades.
Manufactured by Linder Wandleuchten in Germany, this piece provides two light sources and is in very good condition. The lamp has a built-in switch, but it can be easily removed if you prefer to use it without. It has been rewired for modern use. Ideal for various settings, it is especially well-suited for bathrooms or as a vanity mirror light.
Dimensions:
Width: 12.5"
Depth: 4.5"
Height: 4"
