We're Seeing It Everywhere: Brass Tableware
One minute you’re admiring the light bouncing off the warm brassware at a little hidden boîte at the end of a dead-end street, and the next thing you know—WHAM-O!—it’s a full-on trend. Vintage-hunters in particular can get behind this one. Hit Etsy and eBay for well-priced patinaed pieces, including mid-century Scandinavian-designed trays, serving pieces, and candleholders. But if you need an instant fix, want to give a super-glam hostess gift, or are just in need of a treat (it’s Tuesday!), allow us to suggest some stunners.
