Description from the seller

Luxurious Carl Gustaf Hallberg silver-plated sugar bowl with a matching long sugar sifter spoon, made in a beautiful Swedish Victorian design.
The set dates to the late 19th century and blends classical architectural shapes with naturalistic motifs. C.G. Hallberg was active in Stockholm from 1860 to 1961 and was the jeweler to the Swedish Royal Court.

The sugar bowl stands on a triform base with round lower sections. It is lifted by three long, elegant legs, each crowned with a sculptural winged angel, and is paw-shaped at the bottom.
The rim is decorated with a wide and intricate band of floral repoussé scrollwork in relief.

The bowl features two finials in a pine cone or pineapple shape, a traditional symbol associated with hospitality and abundance.

The sugar bowl is made of a high-quality silver plate throughout. The lid is fitted with a precision-cut spoon notch, allowing the spoon to rest inside the bowl while fully closed.

The sugar spoon is made in the Jugend era. It is stamped on the back “A.E. & Co, Prima, N.S.I” for Askerlund & Co E. & silver-plated.

The sugar bowl is stamped with C.G.HG., Stockholm city mark, and NS.

Condition is lovely with light surface wear. There are no breaks or repairs. The top finial has a very minor bend to one side - nothing serious at all. Some wear to the silverplating (mainly at the base) and a beautiful patina that highlights the details. Overall, the bowl and spoon look great.

Height: 26.5 cm
Bowl diameter: 11 cm
Width across feet: approximately 13 cm
Spoon length: 14.5 cm
Total weight: 656 g
