ABOUT PRODUCTID 11276
This neoclassical sugar bowl, originating from Austria in the late 19th century, is crafted from silver-plated brass. Its surface displays a warm, muted golden tone, with areas where the silver plating has worn away, revealing the underlying brass and creating a distinct patina. The harmonious form features a rounded, substantial body supported by three ornate feet shaped like stylized shells. The domed lid is topped with an openwork handle, and the bowl is adorned with high-relief garlands and ribbon motifs characteristic of the neoclassical style. The finish is predominantly matte, accented by a subtle sheen on raised decorative elements. Balanced proportions and finely executed details attest to the craftsmanship of its era. The surface shows clear signs of age and use: patina, wear, and fine scratches. All decorative elements remain intact, with no major structural damage. Condition: good – the piece bears marks of use that reinforce its authenticity.This piece echoes the ambiance of late 19th-century parlors, where the pursuit of harmony and order was reflected even in everyday objects. Relief garlands and ribbons evoke an era in which a single serving piece could embody a sense of ceremony and quiet ritual. The patina and worn areas speak to countless gatherings, hands carefully lifting the lid, hushed conversations, and moments of domestic celebration – each detail seems to whisper of bygone elegance and respect for the craft.The sugar bowl may be displayed on a console, classic vitrine, or among period porcelain and cut glass to create a cohesive late 19th-century composition. It will also find its place in eclectic interiors, where its neoclassical character can be highlighted by richly textured fabrics, marble surfaces, or antique candlesticks. Pairing it with dark wood and subtle lighting will bring out the depth of its patina and relief decoration
