Vintage Silver Plated Flatware Cutlery Set by WMF
Vintage WMF “Heart” Model Cutlery — A Little Silver-Plated Romance for the Table
If your table is craving a touch of understated charm, this vintage WMF duo might just be the silent suitors you’ve been waiting for. A small fork and a small knife—perfectly matched, perfectly elegant—both dressed in the classic WMF “heart” model, a design loved for its soft, rounded silhouette that ends in a subtle heart-shaped flourish.
Each 2-piece set is silver-plated (sturdy hotel silver), compact, and wonderfully versatile: ideal for breakfast, pastries, desserts, cheese moments, or that stylish little first course you pretend is “casual.” Consider them your daily luxury, à la française meets German precision.
A word on WMF
Founded in 1853 in Geislingen an der Steige, WMF (Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik) became one of Europe’s great powerhouses of metalwork—producing everything from art nouveau masterpieces to hotel-grade silver plate used worldwide. Their silver-plating technique, famously durable, helped place WMF in restaurants, grand hotels, and well-appointed households across the continent. In short: WMF is the real deal—heritage, craftsmanship, and clean design rolled into one.
About the “Heart” model
This model is beloved for its gentle curves and timeless simplicity. The handles flare subtly into a soft heart-like shape—nothing too sugary, just sophisticated and sweet enough to make you smile. It’s a design that plays well with both antiques and modern tableware, which is probably why it remains so collectible.
Condition
The pieces are in good vintage condition, showing only light, surface-level scratches—those charming little marks that come with decades of good service. Every set will be freshly polished before delivery, ready to shine at its next performance.
If you’ve been searching for a quiet everyday luxury with a little personality—and a tiny heart at the end—these might be your new favourites.
