Imperial Cutlery Set from the Rococo Silver Service of Emperor Wilhelm II, circa 1900

This exceptional three-piece cutlery set from the renowned Rococo silver service of Emperor Wilhelm II was crafted around 1900 by H. J. Wilm, Berlin, one of the most prominent purveyors to the German Imperial Court.

Made from fine 800 silver and partially gilded, the ensemble showcases the characteristic design language of Neo-Rococo with finely crafted ornamentation. Particularly noteworthy are the Prussian Imperial Eagle and the crowned monogram "WR" (Wilhelm Rex), which impressively document the imperial origin of this rare cutlery.

Imperial table silver with documented provenance

All pieces are appropriately hallmarked and bear the Imperial silver marks, confirming their origin from the collection of the table silver of Emperor Wilhelm II. Such pieces were part of the representative furnishings of the Imperial Court and today stand for the highest quality of German silversmithing from the era of the German Empire.

The set consists of:

• Knife, length approx. 22.5 cm
• Fork, length approx. 18.8 cm
• Spoon, length approx. 19 cm

The condition is good to very good. There is slight wear to the gilding, which is common for original court silver from this period as an age-related appearance.

Rare collector's item from the Imperial collection

This special cutlery combines Imperial provenance, Berlin silversmithing, the court culture of the German Empire, and the highest craftsmanship. The combination of the finest silversmithing, official Imperial markings, and a direct connection to Emperor Wilhelm II makes the ensemble a highly sought-after object for collectors of court silver, Imperial silver, Prussian memorabilia, and historically significant art objects of the German Imperial House.
