Description

Rare and decorative WMF easel mirror titled "The First Cuckoo of Spring", also known as "Echo", dating from circa 1905. Made from Britannia metal, a material favoured by WMF (Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik) for its silvery appearance and smooth finish. This toilet or dressing mirror features a finely cast Art Nouveau design, with a maiden listening to the first call of the cuckoo—symbolic of renewal and spring. The piece is mounted on an easel back for tabletop display and is catalogued among WMF’s most poetic and sculptural decorative works.
