An antique silver-plated sugar scuttle complete with its original metal scoop, decorated in an Art Nouveau style with flowing leaf and berry engravings and a scalloped rim. It stands on a raised pedestal base, giving it a balanced feel and a traditional late Victorian look. The silver plate shows natural age wear, revealing a warm undertone in places, consistent with older plated brass pieces.
The matching scoop sits neatly inside and has the same turned-handle detailing. Together, they form a characterful antique set that displays well on a sideboard or dressing table.
While originally used for loose sugar, pieces like this also lend themselves to modern repurposing. It works beautifully for holding small crystals, trinkets, potpourri or dried flower heads, making it both practical and decorative.
A lovely antique accent for collectors of silver plate, tableware or Art Nouveau style pieces.
