ABOUT PRODUCTID 20037
The sugar bowl crafted by Bracia Henneberg in Poland during the 1920s–30s exemplifies Art Nouveau metalwork, where form and decoration are closely intertwined with practical function. Its rectangular body, made from brass with a cool, silvery, slightly matte finish, is enriched by embossed floral garlands and stylized vegetal scrolls on the sides and lid. The gently domed lid fits precisely, featuring a small thumb rest for effortless opening. Four short, curved feet give the piece a sense of lightness, while the silvery patina enhances its authenticity. There are no visible repairs or significant damage—only minor scratches and gentle tarnishing consistent with age. Condition: good, with natural signs of time.This sugar bowl echoes the spirit of an era when applied arts sought to transform everyday rituals into aesthetic experiences. The flowing botanical motifs, softly rounded edges, and a construction that is both sturdy and refined speak of a time when tableware was more than utilitarian—it was a testament to craftsmanship and the longing for beauty in daily life. The silvery surface, marked by age, seems to carry memories of past gatherings—each subtle mark recalling conversations and gestures that once surrounded it.The sugar bowl can be displayed on a classic wooden sideboard or atop a white tablecloth in an eclectic dining setting where historical details meet contemporary accents. It would pair well with porcelain dinnerware, simple glassware, or silver-plated cutlery. Combining it with other metal objects—such as a tray from the same era or Art Nouveau candlesticks—would highlight its provenance and create a cohesive, collector-worthy table arrangement.
