Identification & Value Check: Triangular WMF Art Deco Silver-Plated Smoking Set (Indonesia)
Background:
I recently came across this WMF silver-plated cigarette/tobacco set and am looking to learn more about it before potentially adding it to my collection. It consists of a triangular tray, two cylindrical canisters (likely for cigarettes/cigars), and a matchbox holder. The set features a very distinct geometric, "stepped" Art Deco motif.
Details:
• Maker: WMF (marked on the underside, see photos).
• Condition: Appears to be in original, unpolished condition with visible oxidation and patina across the silver-plated surfaces.
• Design: I believe this is from the Art Deco period (circa 1925–1935) given the architectural lines and the specific maker's mark.
Dimensions:
• Triangular Tray: 34.5 cm x 30 cm
• Large Canister (Bottle/Cigar): 8 cm diameter, 13 cm height
• Small Canister (Glass/Cigarette): 8 cm diameter, 7.5 cm height
• Matchbox Holder: 10 cm height
My Questions:
Value/Market Price: What is a fair price range for a complete 4-piece set like this in its current condition?
Rarity: How common is this specific triangular tray configuration compared to the more standard rectangular WMF or silver-plate sets?
Demand: Is there a strong current market for WMF smoking accessories among Art Deco collectors?
I am just starting to get into antiques and would appreciate any insight into whether this is a highly sought after pattern or a more standard production piece. Thank you!
