ABOUT PRODUCTID 38257
This sugar bowl, marked by the German manufacturer WMF, was produced at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, exemplifying the mature Art Nouveau (Jugendstil) style. The body is crafted from white brass, silver-plated to a cool, silvery-white hue with a subtle warm undertone and a soft satin sheen. The interior is gold-plated, visible at the rim, lending a refined contrast to the silvery surface. Repoussé and engraved iris motifs flow across the body and lid, with organic lines and naturalistic floral forms that are emblematic of the period. The handles are symmetrically arched with stylized botanical details, while the lid is topped with a finial shaped like a budding flower. The overall proportions are harmonious, with a rounded body, wide base, and elegantly curved handles. The craftsmanship is precise, with seamless joints and sharply defined decoration. The condition is very good, showing only slight patina and minimal scratches typical for its age, with no signs of repairs or damage.This sugar bowl resonates with the spirit of the belle époque, a time when everyday objects were infused with artful detail and nature-inspired ornamentation. The iris motif encircling the vessel seems to narrate a story of transition between eras—when daily rituals were elevated by poetic lines and the beauty of craftsmanship. The subtle gold gleam inside offers an invitation to discover hidden refinement, while the satin-finished brass reflects light gently, recalling the soft ambiance of historic salons.The piece would work beautifully in interiors that highlight historical detail and noble materials. It can be paired with period porcelain or modern
