ABOUT PRODUCTID 20024
This early 20th-century sugar bowl, crafted by the renowned Warsaw-based Bracia Henneberg, is a testament to Polish Art Nouveau metalwork. Made of silver-plated brass, it presents a cool, subtly matte finish accentuated by gentle patina, highlighting its authentic antique character. The body takes the form of a stylized flower, with flowing, petal-like segments featuring delicate, organic texturing—a hallmark of the Secessionist movement. The slender, arching handle, attached at two points and adorned with a central decorative bead, rises above the low, wide bowl supported by three small, rounded feet. The proportions are harmonious, and the piece exhibits the high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail characteristic of Henneberg’s work. Condition is very good: light tarnishing and minor surface wear are present, reflecting natural aging, but with no visible dents or significant damage.The form of this sugar bowl narrates the story of early modernism, when Polish artisans drew inspiration from the leading artistic currents of Europe, transforming everyday objects through organic fluidity. The stylized floral shape and the gentle arch of the handle capture the spirit of Art Nouveau—a time when nature became the model, and metalwork served as a canvas for decorative experimentation. The subtle patina and tactile petal texture evoke the twilight of the belle époque, when even a simple table accessory aspired to be a small work of art.This sugar bowl can be paired with period porcelain or modern, minimalist tableware to highlight the contrast between its decorative design and a simpler backdrop. It would suit an elegantly set table or a collector’s display, where its sculptural silhouette will stand out. It
