"Saracenic" Coffee Pot and Sugar Bowl 1895

This "Saracenic" Coffee Pot and Sugar Bowl, created by Tiffany and Company in 1895, exemplifies the Art Nouveau style. The set is crafted from silver and features intricate, stylized floral patterns reminiscent of Islamic decorative arts. The coffee pot, with its elongated spout and bulbous body, and the sugar bowl, with its delicate handles, are meticulously detailed with gold embellishments. This set highlights the interest in Eastern influences that characterized the Art Nouveau movement in the late 19th century. It is now housed in the renowned collection of The Art Institute of Chicago.
