Silver Objects of Emperor Wilhelm II – Showpieces of Imperial Table Culture
The silver objects owned by Emperor Wilhelm II (1859–1941) are among the most representative examples of the imperial way of life. Whether magnificent table centerpieces, finely engraved picture frames, elaborately crafted cutlery, or imposing trophies, each piece was made by renowned court silversmiths such as Friedländer, Körner & Proll, or Wilm Berlin and often bears the crowned monogram “WR” as well as the silver hallmark “800”.
Typical features:
-
Rococo decoration with floral ornaments and the Prussian eagle
-
WR monogram and imperial crown engraving
-
Gilded silver on ceremonial forks and trophies
Today, these objects are highly sought-after collectibles that document the courtly splendor of the German Empire.
