ABOUT PRODUCTID 19922
This early 20th-century sugar bowl, produced by German manufacturer WMF, stands as a quintessential example of Art Nouveau. Crafted from brass with a silver-plated finish, the body displays a cool, matte sheen subtly transitioning into a soft patina, reflecting the piece’s age. The design is defined by harmonious proportions: its rounded body gently tapers towards the base, while two gracefully curved handles feature refined linear accents. The domed lid is crowned with a geometric, openwork finial, reinforcing the symmetrical and ornamental character of the piece. Flowing, organic motifs typical of Art Nouveau decorate the surface, and the neatly executed joints speak to the quality of craftsmanship. There are no visible dents or significant damage; decorative details remain crisp and well-defined, preserved in good condition with minor traces of use and patina.This object might recall a time when decorative arts infused daily rituals—when the silvery gleam of a sugar bowl reflected morning light in an elegant dining room. Its organic curves and fluid contours seem to follow the motion of a serving hand, while the geometric finial on the lid invokes the bold, modern thinking of the early 20th century. The sugar bowl preserves the memory of an era when every detail mattered and tableware played a subtle role in everyday ceremonies.In table arrangements, the sugar bowl pairs well with porcelain featuring Art Nouveau motifs, delicately cut glassware, or silver-plated cutlery. It may be placed on a crisp white tablecloth or linen napkin to highlight its historic silhouette. The piece suits both a classic sideboard setting and more eclectic, collector’s vintage ensembles. It can be combined with other Art Nouveau elements or understated contemporary accessories, allowing the subtle lines and texture of the metal to gently stand out.
