ABOUT PRODUCTID 20015
This early 20th-century Art Nouveau sugar bowl, crafted from silver-plated brass, exemplifies German artisanal skill. Its slightly conical body subtly widens toward the base, enveloped in a cool, mirror-like silver with a polished, glossy finish. A horizontal band of raised oval and round motifs encircles the vessel, referencing the organic ornamentation characteristic of the Art Nouveau era. The domed lid is topped with a sculptural, openwork finial, its flowing lines evoking the plant-inspired forms of the period. Two slender, symmetrically placed handles are gently curved, lending balance and a refined lightness to the silhouette. The surface remains smooth, with only minimal, natural signs of use—fine scratches and a delicate patina—attesting to its very good condition. Construction is solid, with meticulously joined elements and no visible repairs, ensuring the piece’s authenticity and integrity.The form of this sugar bowl conjures the spirit of the belle époque, an era when everyday objects acquired the status of miniature works of art. Its reflective surface captures light, recalling urban salons and the ritual of morning coffee served among Art Nouveau décor. The oval motifs and flowing finial lines seem to narrate a fascination with nature, so typical of the style. The subtle patina and gentle traces of time suggest a past where the piece was both a tabletop essential and a silent witness to household gatherings.This sugar bowl could be paired with porcelain from the same era or cut glassware to emphasize its decorative presence during refined dessert or coffee services. It would work well in historic, collector’s interiors as well as more eclectic settings, where it becomes a distinguished accent on a console, display cabinet, or classic coffee table.
