ABOUT PRODUCTID 42552
This Art Nouveau sugar bowl, produced by Bracia Henneberg in Warsaw at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, represents refined metal craftsmanship typical of the late Secessionist period. Crafted from brass and plated for a cool, silvery tone, its surface is highly polished and mirror-like. The piece features a compact, harmonious form: a wide, almost flat body with softly rounded sides and 1:1 proportions (height and diameter both 11.5 cm), complemented by a thin, arched handle mounted on two small pivots at each side. Decorative elements are limited to precise geometric motifs in low relief—rectangles, triangles, and linear accents—characteristic of early Art Nouveau. The bowl maintains a uniform metallic color with no multicolored details or polychromy. Construction is solid, with attention to detail and carefully executed joints. The sugar bowl is preserved in very good condition, with only minor surface scratches and gentle patina as subtle traces of age.This object tells the story of urban elegance at the dawn of the 20th century—a time when geometry began to subtly displace the flowing lines of Art Nouveau and metal gained a new, decorative role on bourgeois tables. Its mirrored surface reflects light as if to capture the flickering glow of pre-war Warsaw. The geometric ornamentation—restrained and balanced—hints quietly at the influence of modernity, while the soft body and delicate handle recall the daily rituals of serving tea and sugar among porcelain and cut flowers.The sugar bowl
