ABOUT PRODUCTID 19961
This early 20th-century Swedish sugar bowl, crafted from silver-plated brass, represents the Art Nouveau style with clarity and restraint. The construction features a geometric openwork pattern: vertical slits and stylized shield motifs set within rectangular frames, connected by horizontal lines, all typical of the period’s decorative logic. The arched handle, delicately pierced, echoes the rhythm of the vessel’s main ornamentation. It stands on three short, outwardly curved legs with stylized, flared feet. The predominant hue is muted, aged silver with areas where the silver plating has worn, revealing warm brass undertones; the surface is mostly matte with occasional uneven sheen. The bowl displays authentic patina, minor scratches, and thinning of the silver layer, but all elements are original and complete, with no signs of modern restoration. Condition: good, with age-appropriate patina and wear.The silver-plated brass quietly tells the story of early 20th-century Sweden—a time when Art Nouveau broke away from rigid traditions, infusing utilitarian objects with organic geometry and subtle ornament. The matte surface, interspersed with gentle gleams, evokes the atmosphere of turn-of-the-century salons, where every object, however small, played a role in the ritual of daily life. This sugar bowl seems to whisper tales of tea gatherings, with light glancing across its openwork patterns and patina bearing witness to countless moments.Today, the piece could be paired with classic porcelain or vintage glassware to create a cohesive, historically resonant table setting. It would suit interiors inspired by Art
