Accents participate in a competition of who's the fairest, as mirrored designs vie for the frontrunner spot. Clean, beveled offerings reflect an air of rich grandeur, while speckled or eglomise techniques add a spirited twist. Watch for unexpected pairings such as mirrored cabinets and hand-wrought vine legs to cause a stir, spinning a refined rustic appeal. Rivalries are certain to run rampant this season. — LINDSEY STRADER

With its sinuous curves and asymmetrical lines, the Nocturne side table from Laura Spector Rustic Design brings a relaxed, lyrical glamour to the organic form. Hand-wrought vine legs provide rustic texture, while mirrored cabinets and Venetian glass encrusted drawers exude an air of refinement ($7,000).

Transitional in style, John-Richard's bar cabinet is made of rosewood and eglomise glass with antique brass filigree ($3,125).

Hand-finished in antique silver leaf, the Striped Eglomise accent chest showcases alternating dark and light bands and antique nickel drawer pulls from The Platt Collections.

The Decadent three-drawer chest from Sterling Industries features speckled mirrored panels and scroll feet ($1,058).

From Imax's Carolyn Kinder International Collection, the Meridian two-door sideboard spotlights a distressed gold finish and beveled mirror accents, exuding contemporary glamorous styling ($750).
