Description from the seller
Magnificent Ottoman-era solid silver sugar bowl with lid
Elegant Ottoman solid-silver sugar bowl, with a faceted form (nearly octagonal) featuring a domed body and a lid with a hexagonal rim.
It is adorned with a beautiful engraved (chiseled) decoration of floral motifs, garlands of leaves, and scrollwork typical of Ottoman style. Two small side handles in a loop shape facilitate handling.
The lid is topped by a decorative knob in the shape of a stylized fruit (or flower) resting on a bed of leaves, highly characteristic of 19th-century Ottoman metalwork.
Key features:
Solid silver
Authentic Ottoman Empire style
Fine and elegant engraved decoration (flowers, foliage, garlands)
Rare and harmonious form
Patina of use that gives it authentic charm
Perfect for a collection of Oriental decorative arts, an Oriental tea/coffee service, or as a refined decorative object
Condition: Good overall used condition, with the signs of wear and patina normal for an object of this age.
Note: the floral knob on the lid no longer stays in place and cannot be screwed on (it is detached).
A rare decorative piece, ideal for lovers of Ottoman art and antique objects.
