About the Item

Sugar box. Silver in colour. Northern Europe (possibly Berlin), first half of the 19th century. With contrast marks. Rectangular box with chamfered corners resting on four claws with nails and featuring a lid with a projection towards the centre and a plaque with engraved initials of ownership. On the outside, it has a frieze of plant motifs above the keyhole. There is evidence of a sugar box in a private European collection with a hallmark similar to that of this piece (the initial A in a circle), being a neoclassical work from Berlin, the work of Gottlob Ludwig Howalt, and dated around 1820. This type of sugar bowls with closure were common in certain areas of northern Europe, taking on an appearance similar to that of this piece following the invasion of Napoleon Bonaparte, with which the French aesthetic models spread.
