ABOUT PRODUCTID 19906
This basket-form sugar bowl from the 1920s represents Polish craftsmanship, made of brass covered with a layer of silver. Its cool, matte silver surface displays an even patina and gentle signs of use, underscoring the piece’s age. The softly rounded body tapers toward a stable base, topped with a scalloped rim featuring delicate beading. An ornate, raised garland motif with a central bow, typical of the transition from Art Nouveau to early Art Deco, is precisely integrated into the vessel’s surface. The construction is solid with no visible seams, and the vessel lacks handles or additional fittings. The overall condition is good—minor scratches and traces of use are visible, consistent with authentic items from this period, with no major dents or structural damage.The form of this sugar bowl evokes the ambiance of 1920s parlors and home tea gatherings, when silver-plated vessels offered a subtle accent on the table. The textured surface and flowing garland motif speak of a fondness for soft, decorative lines characteristic of late Art Nouveau, while also hinting at the restrained elegance of the emerging Art Deco era. The gentle tarnish and signs of use seem to whisper stories of countless meetings at the table, of daily rituals and the attention to detail that distinguished interiors of the time.The sugar bowl can be incorporated into a classic dining room or a contemporary table setting—paired with delicately patterned porcelain, glassware, or minimalist white ceramics. It would work well as a single accent in a retro-inspired arrangement, but could also be combined with simple, geometric forms, where its organic decoration offers a natural counterpoint. Consider placing it with a linen napkin or a naturally textured fabric to highlight its understated presence and historical lineage.
