An antique milk and sugar set made from 835 silver tells its own story in the glamorous parlours of times gone by. A true Art Nouveau masterpiece that captures the elegance of a bygone era with its magnificent design and refined craftsmanship.
The creamer, with its wide, generous spout, is reminiscent of the opulence with which cream once flowed into coffee in fine puffs. The sugar bowl, with its domed lid, bears a small work of art at its top - an openwork knob, crowned by a silver sphere that catches the light like a twinkling star. The strongly arched, artfully humped corpus rests on stylised claw feet, reminiscent of the strength and grace of mythological creatures. Curled, fluted handles lend the pieces additional depth and tactile appeal, as if they were made to be held reverently in the hands.
The oval tray, with its offset mirror and scalloped edge, is the perfect frame for this ensemble. It not only offers functionality, but also resembles a stage that stages the splendour of the individual pieces. The surface of the set, finished with a fine hammered finish, catches the light in an enchanting way, while the gold-plated surfaces on the inside exude a warm, luxurious glow.
Every detail bears witness to the highest level of craftsmanship and the pursuit of perfection, as was the tradition in the Bremen workshops for artisan silverwork. The ‘BWKS’ brand not only stands for quality, but also for a touch of eternity that surrounds this set.
Preserved in excellent condition, this set is not just a utilitarian object, but a collectible relic that immerses the viewer in the fine art of Art Nouveau. A touch of nostalgia, a spark of luxury - this silver ensemble is more than just an object; it is a journey back in time to the elegance of another era.
