ABOUT PRODUCTID 12652
This silver-plated sugar bowl, produced in Sweden in the early 20th century, reflects Scandinavian decorative art in the Art Nouveau tradition. The base material is most likely brass, overlaid with a cool-toned, softly matte layer of silver, showing natural patina that enhances its historic character. The upper section is encircled by a band of raised geometric patterns—repetitive squares with central round indentations—forming a harmonious decorative frieze. The main surface remains smooth, contrasting with the sculptural, angular handle, which is architecturally mounted on stylized brackets and features cut-out geometric accents. The structural elements reveal visible metal joints and rivets, testifying to the craftsmanship of its era. Delicate usage marks and natural tarnishing are present, typical of authentic Art Nouveau metalware, while no major restoration is visible. The piece remains in very good condition, fully maintaining its historic integrity.The bowl’s form evokes the spirit of the early 1900s, when Art Nouveau reimagined the geometry and proportions of daily life. Its gentle silver sheen and balanced detailing echo the Scandinavian approach to ornament—reserved, yet quietly virtuosic. The embossed pattern, like a series of miniature windows, reflects the eclectic world of the Secession movement, transforming a functional sugar bowl into an object that carries a subtle, ceremonial presence, turning the everyday act of serving into a silent ritual.This sugar bowl, with its bold geometric presence, could be paired with hand-painted porcelain from the same era or simple, modern ceramic pieces—its reserved character heightening
