Metal finishes will stand the test of time on furniture and accessories
Crows have the right idea when it comes to shiny objects – they are alluring! A few well-placed lustrous items enrich our nests. Originally created as an alternative to the more expensive sterling silver, reproduction mercury glass recreates the well-worn look and can currently be found in table lamps, candle holders and decanters, to name a few. Placing silver between two layers of glass creates the rich mirrored patina. The Arteriors Home Pelham lamp has a beautiful ribbed glass base holding a honey mustard shade. Both pieces are oval in shape and a charming addition to a room.
This eye-catching polished nickel side table is another enchanting transitional piece. The sophisticated base supports a beveled edge glass top. It’s a glamorous chair side companion. The beautiful yet simple nickel sunburst mirror [below] has a radiant antique finish that beckons a second glance. So next time you’re out shopping, beware of the irresistible appeal of metallic trinkets!
