Brass is back baby and trust me it is still as fabulous as ever! Why brass? Brass has such an interesting history, and it can easily create the perfect accent on a desk, shelf or table! Brass literally lights up spaces in all the right places!
I personally love brass due to its versatility. These Vintage Tribal Brass Figurines (pictured) are from my very own private collection!
The formation of brass started many moons ago. The origination of brass dates as far back as 500 B.C. Brass is made of an alloy that consists of both copper and zinc. It is very versatile and it comes in so many different forms and shapes. Whether it is glassware, jewelry boxes, home accent décor or even furniture, brass can be found just about anywhere. The unique features of brass can help create the perfect ambiance in any room.
Where to Start with Adding a Bit of Brass?
You can easily accentuate a fireplace with a beautiful Vintage Brass Fireplace Screen! I especially love Peacock Fan Fireplace Screens! They are extra awesome because they look great with their wings fanned out, or pushed in and clipped together. Make sure to visit Awesomesauce Vintage Shop to check out the Vintage Fireplace Screens in stock!
If you are feeling really awesome, then select a Vintage Brass Figurine/Statue to add the perfect focal point to any room! If you like to decorate both indoors and outdoors, then consider choosing a Vintage Sundial to do the trick. You can use a Brass Sundial as an accent piece in your home or office. Sundials in general are amazing, and they are perfect for displaying in your garden.

Choose a set of gorgeous Brass Bookends to help add that extra touch of vintage charm to your bookshelves. Bam! Great idea right? Bookends also make for a very thoughtful gift.
This amazing Vintage Brass Vanity Mirror from the 1960's will be sure to make a statement on any counter or dresser!
The bottom line is that sometimes all you really need in order to step-up your décor game is some badass brass! No doubt that brass will enhance the look and feel of any space.
Awesomesauce Tip: Yes! Look for brass that has a nice patina, but if you are willing to put in a bit of elbow grease, then you can easily polish up dull brass items with brass cleaners. At Awesomesauce Vintage Shop our go-to is Barkeepers friend! However, beware that polishing of valuable antique brass items could reduce their value.
