About the Item

A three-part table piece by the maker Wiskemann. Probably made for the World Exhibition in Antwerp, 1930. The Orfèvrerie Wiskemann: Otto-Léonard Wiskemann (1852–1909) set up in business in the heart of Brussels in 1872 and specialized in producing silver plated white metal for the hotel and catering industry. Around 1890 he extended a building in the Impasse du Val des Roses to create a new workshop. After his death his sons Otto (†1946) and Albin (†1950) took over the company and greatly expanded it, with new production facilities in Zurich and Milan and sales outlets in Antwerp, Brussels, Ghent and Nice, later also in Bruges, Liège and Paris. In the 1920s they brought a new factory on stream in Vorst. In 1924 Wiskemann started manufacturing kitchen and tableware and cutlery in 18/8 stainless steel (18 % chromium and 8 % nickel) - the first in the world to do so. Around 1923 Bruno Wiskemann (†1955), a brother of Albin and Otto, decided to set up his own business, which in 1924 resulted in the Etablissements Bruno Wiskemann SA, with the Wolfers family as the major shareholder. Production at Orfèvrerie Wiskemann After the death of Otto Wiskemann in 1946, Roger Soin took over the day-to-day running of the company. As far as the production of silverware is concerned, very few new items were added to the interwar range. The company catered first and foremost for a conservative public and in the uni category simple services and cutlery, like Hellade N° 32, which can hardly be described as Art Deco, came onto the market. Orfèvrerie Wiskemann's participation in Expo 58 did not go unnoticed, for its products were on show in no fewer than three pavilions. In design terms, Wiskemann “Rénovateur, en Belgique, actuellement du style moderne, pur et rationnel” came up with several novelties and Stephan Winteroy (*1921), head of the production department, can take the credit for them: the Country Club table service, the Stuyvenberg cutlery, the Heysel coffee and tea service, and la Cambre table service.
