RARE WMF SILVER PLATED RELIEF PLAQUE. A rare and beautiful WMF (Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik) silver plated relief plaque featuring a lion and lioness, circa 1900. It is possibly by Fritz Diller who worked on other stunning designs for WMF, although it is not stamped with his name. Another artist who worked on plaques by WMF is Oscar Pflug. The plaque is unframed, and is stamped 6102, 51, 20 x 24 (the size of the picture in cms, not including the border), and Kunstanstalt, WMF, Geislingen. Interestingly the German sculptor Joseph Franz Pallenburg made this stunning lion and lioness bronze – it looks amazingly similar! Could this plaque be by him? Condition: Some rubbing to silver plate mostly on highest raised parts. Aged patina, not polished. Max width: 25.5 cm (10 in). Max height: 21.3 cm (8 in). Weight: 540 g (9 oz).
