Barware: Metal movement
Lindsey Strader -- Home Accents Today, 11/1/2007
Barware gets its shine on this season with sleek metal detailing. Bar tools, pitchers, stoppers and shakers get a polished look from metal favorites such as aluminum, iron, stainless steel, nickel and pewter, making these gleaming starlets as glamorous as the cocktails themselves.
Shake things up with Andrea by Sadek's martini shaker, which features a nickel body and red leather accents ($20 to $50).
Intrada's handmade champagne cooler and pitcher from the Italian Pewter Collection feature intricate grapevine designs ($198, pitcher; $265, cooler).
The Deray-Loquet oval tray from America Retold is an elegantly polished piece for a traditional bar setting ($110).
The Tipsy bottle stopper from Ritzenhoff will raise spirits with the graphic, swirling pattern in bright hues and stainless steel rimming ($22).
Functional serveware meets style in CBK's aluminum-finished, long-handled ice scoops, offered in white, brown, green or teal ($72, set of four).
