Brass Decorative Bowls

What’s old is new again — fresh, with a reinvigorated perspective. We know this cliché applies to fashion and décor trends, but it also frames our approach at Chairish: We create a curated selection of vintage and antique pieces, plus innovative, adventurous offerings from small businesses, practicing artisans and makers.

Brass is Back

Brass bowls, in the present, have experienced such a resurgence. Solid brass, either polished smooth or with details over the surface, brings warmth into the room, whether you set one out as a candy dish or use one as a statement-making centerpiece. They saw their heyday back in the mid-20th century, and now, they’re riding the popularity of solid yellow and rose gold.

How to Use Brass Bowls

You have an eye for design. You know when something’s too much — and you can also tell when a piece tends to blend into the background. We tend to take an adventurous approach to décor ourselves, and even with our experimental tastes, we know that striking the right balance is a challenge. Both modern and antique brass bowls bring a rustic yet vintage quality. At the same time, their understated brilliance veers toward versatility. When you’re looking to enliven a space, a decorative brass bowl brings an aged quality with a touch of light. Play it against other warm metals, like gold or bronze, as well as similar solid colors.
