ABOUT PRODUCTID 22029
A pair of early 20th-century Swedish salt and pepper shakers crafted from 830 silver, confirmed by the national hallmarks: the three crowns and the 'S' in a hexagonal field. Their form mimics the proportions of acorns—rounded, hammered-texture bases with a matte sheen contrast with smooth, highly polished domed tops that reflect a cool, silvery tone. Each shaker is delicately engraved with an initial: 'S' for salt, 'P' for pepper. The construction features a practical screw mechanism for opening, and the interior is gilded. The set is preserved in very good condition, showing only minor, natural patina consistent with age and authenticity.These small table accessories evoke the spirit of early 20th-century Scandinavian functionalism—an era that valued simplicity, durability, and refined everyday details. Their quiet yet distinctive form seems to whisper a story of Swedish dining traditions and respect for craftsmanship. The contrast between the matte, hammered base and the cool, mirrored cap brings to mind the atmosphere of orderly homes where every object held meaning and a specific place at the table.The shakers can be paired with silver or porcelain Scandinavian tableware and will complement simple white table linens and minimalist glassware. For collector’s arrangements, they may be combined with other period accessories—such as light oak serving platters or classic candlesticks—to emphasize their historical pedigree. In modern, pared-back interiors, their organic silhouette and noble patina offer a subtle accent for the table, sure to draw the attention of Nordic design aficionados.Width: 2.8 cm. Height: 4 cm.
