Wilkens Tulip Sterling Silver Flatware Collection
The Wilkens Tulip Sterling Silver Flatware Collection draws upon the expressive floral forms of late nineteenth-century Art Nouveau. Designed by Heinrich Vogeler, a prominent figure of the Worpswede artists’ colony near Bremen, the pattern reflects his devotion to natural motifs and the graceful elegance of botanical structures. The front section of each piece appears to grow organically from the handle, reminiscent of a crocus blossom or a tulip leaf emerging from its stem.
Clean lines, a sculpted sweep of the handle, and a refined semi-thread edge detail contribute to the collection’s timeless profile. While unmistakably inspired by Art Nouveau, the pattern retains a modern clarity that allows it to harmonize with both traditional and contemporary table settings. Its aesthetic balance and quiet sophistication ensure lasting relevance and visual appeal.
Each piece is handcrafted in Germany in premium 925 sterling silver. The exceptional polishing, precise hand-finishing, and carefully judged weight exemplify the longstanding Wilkens commitment to quality. The smooth contours and naturalistic curves create a comfortable feel in the hand, while the subtle thread border adds structure without interrupting the flowing design vocabulary.
The Tulip collection is ideal for enthusiasts of refined European silver, collectors of Art Nouveau decorative arts, and those who appreciate understated elegance with historical depth. Its sculptural form and botanical inspiration lend distinction to both formal dining and elevated daily service.
The Lanam Shop is pleased to offer the Wilkens Tulip Sterling Silver Flatware Collection in 925 sterling silver, including traditional place setting pieces and an assortment of serving utensils. Each item arrives beautifully finished and designed to be cherished for generations.
