ABOUT PRODUCTID 19999
This sugar bowl from the 1920s, crafted from silver-plated brass, exemplifies the principles of German Art Deco. The body features a matte, slightly subdued silver finish complemented by geometric, angular handles with stepped detailing and a subtly flared, conical form. The lid is gently domed and topped with a minimalist, rounded knob. The proportions are balanced: a wide base tapers toward the top, while symmetrical handles reinforce the clarity of the design. The surface retains its authentic patina, with minor wear, tarnishing, and small areas of discoloration consistent with genuine pieces from its era. Solid seams are visible at the handles and lid, and the absence of superfluous ornamentation aligns with the modernist logic of the 1920s. The condition is very good, with no major dents or damages—only a natural patina and light signs of age.The form of this sugar bowl tells the story of Germany's Roaring Twenties, when modernity and function converged in the geometric discipline of Art Deco. Its cool silver sheen and balanced proportions evoke the morning light of a Berlin café, where the pace of life followed straight lines and pragmatic luxury. The minimalist detail and absence of ornament give voice to an era that valued restraint in form, yet celebrated refined detail—here, every angle and edge has a purpose.This piece may be displayed on a classic nickel or glass tray, alongside a porcelain tea set with clean lines, to highlight its architectural character. It would suit a table arrangement inspired by modernism, complemented by other period accessories such as geometric salt cellars or a cut-glass carafe. Pairing it with a neutral color palette would allow the noble silver tone and natural patina to take center stage in a subtle, collector-worthy interior.
