ABOUT PRODUCTID 21230
This rectangular Art Nouveau sugar box was created around 1900 in the Czech region by the renowned Sandrik manufactory. Crafted from silver-plated brass, it features a cool, silvery matte finish. The hinged lid, with its prominent arched handle, is adorned with raised, stylized forget-me-not floral motifs set in geometric corner panels. The body displays vertical relief lines ending in small circular accents, epitomizing the Secessionist aesthetic. Four wide, gently splayed legs with softly curved edges provide stability and a balanced silhouette. Dimensions: height 10.5 cm, width 9.5 cm, length 14 cm. The Sandrik signature is visible on the underside. The overall condition is very good; the surface bears a consistent patina without abrasions, showing only subtle, age-appropriate traces of use.This sugar box conjures the atmosphere of the early twentieth century—a period when Art Nouveau defined a new decorative language. Its form speaks of a search for harmony between nature and geometry: delicate forget-me-nots, framed within architectural panels, seem to whisper stories of salon gatherings and daily rituals. The matte sheen of the metal and the pronounced, organic lines suggest an object designed for sensual engagement—both visual and tactile—carrying a discreet charm of a bygone era.The Sandrik sugar box would complement a classic breakfast table or a collector’s setting inspired by Art Nouveau. It could be paired with porcelain featuring subtle botanical patterns, glass serving trays, or silver-plated spoons to highlight its historical provenance. In contemporary interiors, it may serve as a counterpoint on a minimalist console or a dark wood display cabinet, where the patinated metal introduces a refined accent and a gentle note of nostalgia.
