The Wolfers family had long been involved in the gold and silversmiths trade when brothers Edouard and Guillaume decided to leave their home in Germany to pursue their careers in Belgium.
They opened a business in Brussels in 1812 creating innovative silverware and tableware and the Wolfers name gained recognition throughout the country as producers of fine quality. Their brother Louis Wolfers (1820-1892) arrived in 1842 and in 1850 established the company that would achieve fame throughout Europe in the 19th and 20th Century. This set is in near new condition and a couple of the dinner knives have never been used and are still in their original sealed plastic wraps. The set includes a gorgeous collection of 23 serving pieces.

Louis’s son Philippe (1858-1929) joined his father in the business after studying at the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels. Under his father’s tutelage he learnt both the artistic and business sides of silversmithing. During the ten years either side of the turn of the century, "Wolfers Frères" became the most prestigious of the Art Nouveau silversmiths working in Belgium. Examples of their works from this period can now be found in important private and public collections such as London’s Victoria and Albert Museum. This set is a stunning example of the quality and craftsmanship for which the firm was internationally known and includes the following (all weights and measures approximate):
