Sugar box. Silver. Northern Europe (possibly Berlin), first half 19th century.

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. Weight: 487 grams. · Size: 16x12x10 cm International Buyers – Please Note: for those articles that need Export Permits (those older than 100 years), the obtaining of the Permit will be processed without additional expenses (if you choose the seller sends it to you), but the period for the obtention of it may vary from 10 to 35 days.
