Wurbel & Czokally was a silversmith firm operating in Vienna, Austria, during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The company was founded by Vincenz Czokally in 1864, who gained a following among the Court of Franz Joseph I. Czokally entered into partnership with Carl Würbel in 1892.
Würbel & Czokally specialized in crafting fine silverware and decorative silver items, reflecting the traditional Viennese style that was prominent during this era, as well as Art Nouveau influences that were gaining popularity. The firm's creations often featured intricate designs, with elements inspired by nature and classical motifs, aligning with the aesthetic sensibilities of the Vienna Secession movement, which was led by influential artists like Gustav Klimt.
