ABOUT PRODUCTID 11647
This sugar bowl, crafted from silver-plated brass, dates to the early 20th century and originates from Austria. Shaped in the spirit of the Viennese Secession, it features a compact, low-rounded form accentuated by a geometric openwork frieze of regular squares encircling the rim, a motif echoed on the broad, angular handle. The handle is attached with visible rivets, lending a subtle industrial accent to the composition. The metal’s surface is a cool, matte silver with a delicate brushed texture, showing natural patina and minor scratches that enhance its vintage authenticity. All components are original, with robust construction and no repairs. Condition is very good, with only age-consistent patina and minimal signs of use.The bowl’s design narrates the story of a modernizing Europe at the turn of the century, when everyday objects became carriers of new taste and aesthetics. Its geometric ornamentation and restrained lines evoke the mood of Viennese salons, where craftsmanship met innovation, and light filtered through the openwork cut-outs to cast subtle shadows on tables and sideboards. The metal remains quiet in its cool tone, with the matte silver surface reflecting the era’s notion of elegance as restraint and utility.This piece can be used in both classic table settings and contemporary displays—pair it with pale porcelain or glassware of simple lines to emphasize its geometric decoration. It may be combined with other objects featuring geometric forms or period details from the Art Nouveau era to highlight its decorative discipline. In collector’s or modernist interiors, it works well as an accent on a console, accompanied by silver candlesticks or glass vases, capturing the spirit of eclectic and modern arrangements.
