Wilkens Margeriten Sterling Silver Flatware Collection
The Wilkens Margeriten Sterling Silver Flatware Collection reflects the artistic vision of Heinrich Vogeler, an influential member of the Worpswede artists’ colony and a leading figure in the progressive artistic movements of the early twentieth century. Rooted in the stylized natural forms characteristic of the Art Nouveau and Jugendstil periods, the pattern translates botanical inspiration into a refined and expressive silver design.
Margeriten is distinguished by its geometric floral motifs, which appear to grow organically from an abstract stem extending from the bowl of each piece. These blossoms are rendered with precise modeling and arranged in a balanced, rhythmic sequence. Flowing transitions between design elements create a seamless, sculptural effect that reflects Vogeler’s dedication to artistic unity and craftsmanship.
The oxidized and polished surface treatment enhances the depth and definition of the pattern, accentuating each finely crafted blossom and bringing out the dimensional qualities of the ornamentation. The result is flatware that is visually rich yet understated, offering a harmonious blend of decorative art and functional design.
Handcrafted in Germany in premium 925 sterling silver, the Margeriten collection exemplifies the refinement, artistry, and technical mastery for which Wilkens is renowned. The balanced weight, smooth contours, and thoughtfully rendered details ensure that each piece is as pleasing to use as it is to admire.
The Margeriten pattern appeals to those who appreciate early twentieth-century artistic movements, nature-inspired ornamentation, and the expressive beauty of handcrafted silver. Its timeless elegance and sculptural detailing make it a distinguished choice for both formal dining and refined everyday use.
