ABOUT PRODUCTID 20049
This silver-plated brass sugar bowl is a representative example of 19th-century Polish eclecticism. Its cool, silvery tone and high-gloss finish highlight the advanced craftsmanship of the era. The form features a slightly elongated oval body, harmoniously integrated with richly decorated details. The piece stands on four ornate feet adorned with stylized vegetal and floral motifs. The handles are distinguished by openwork scrolls ending in animal heads, while the lid is topped with a sculptural finial that echoes the vessel’s elaborate ornamentation. The body surface is enhanced with precise guilloche engraving arranged in symmetrical, botanical patterns, lending depth and texture. Silver-plating over brass ensures both the durability of the luster and the clarity of the decorative detail. The condition is excellent, with no visible damage, wear, or evidence of restoration; the surface retains its original brilliance, and all elements remain authentic and well-preserved.This sugar bowl carries the voice of late 19th-century Poland—a period when local artisans embraced forms merging classical inspirations with eclectic fantasy. Reflections on the silvered surface evoke the ambiance of historical salons and dining rooms, where everyday rituals met a reverence for ornate detail. Sculptural accents and botanical motifs speak of a longing for bygone splendor, with each element testifying to an appreciation of both form and function.The sugar bowl could serve as a striking accent on a dining table arranged in a historicist or eclectic style. It may be paired with porcelain decorated with floral motifs, silver or glass serving pieces, and classic candlesticks from the same era. It would also work as a decorative object in a collector’s display cabinet or on a console in the living room, where its polished surface and rich ornamentation could engage in dialogue with other antiques or contemporary accessories in neutral tones.
