What We Love: Brass & Gold Accents

There is nothing better than adding a metallic touch to the home. Find a statement piece that will not only catch your attention because of the color, but because of its unique design. Accents can be large focal points in a space or small accents for tabletop and vignette designs.

This rams head bowl would be great for a floral centerpiece, or it could even work as an awesome planter for the exterior of your home.

An antique burner is probably not likely to be used to cook for your family, but the color and bird detail of this piece would make a great accent by your fireplace.

Is this a king's drinking goblet. No! It's a brass champagne bucket mounted on a pedestal. What a great statement piece for a party!

This cream and sugar set would be a beautiful metallic touch for a modern tea party, or simply use them for your morning "Cup of Joe" and enhance your experience by gazing upon such golden perfection.

Give your vanity some pizzazz with these brass vintage boxes. Store your jewelry while adding some decor.
