Hammered Brass

Only a few would argue with me that if there were a synonym word for Glam that would be Brass.  I know that finishes in a decor would depend on what environment you are willing to create.  In a farm house you may probably find chrome or brushed chrome instead of brass?  But for environments or atmospheres where a dose of sophistication is required you probably would end up with some brass thrown in.  It’s a classic!  Hand hammered brass takes all that up a notch by adding texture and a sense of provenance.  We’ve seen it vastly used in Moroccan design, which is known for being exotic and sometimes over the top.  Below are a few items that would make anything else around them dance and be merry.  Enjoy!
