ABOUT PRODUCTID 19958
This basket-shaped sugar bowl from Austria dates back to the Art Nouveau period of the 1920s and is crafted from brass with a silver-plated finish. The primary color is a warm silver, tinged with golden undertones and areas of natural patina, resulting in a matte, subtly variegated surface. The body features a raised floral and foliate motif at the center, a hallmark of Art Nouveau’s organic lines, while the sides are adorned with geometric, cross-hatched patterns that offer a restrained counterpoint to the flowing ornamentation. The construction includes a simple, arched handle—also silver-plated—showing visible signs of age and use. Inside rests a clear, faceted glass liner with a smooth texture and slightly beveled rim, emphasizing the careful craftsmanship. Soldering marks are apparent at the handle’s attachment points, indicating the piece’s solid, artisan-made structure. The overall condition is good, with minor scratches, surface wear, and patina consistent with its age. There is no major damage or evidence of repair, and all components appear original.This sugar bowl’s form narrates the spirit of an era when Art Nouveau’s organic fluidity intertwined with emerging geometric tendencies. Brass and silver, softened by time, seem to whisper of a period when daily rituals at the table were imbued with a sense of artistry. The floral ornament, gently raised to the touch, recalls the fleeting motifs of nature
