This Week's Top 5 Favorite 1stdibs Items: Metallic Silver!

Metallics are an interesting breed of color and material. Futuristic, industrial, shiny and hard, metallic home decor items bring excitement, energy and shine to a space. Use a lot of them in a room to have a modern, industrial feel, or use them sparingly to inject a bit of interest into a dull corner or tabletop. Anywhere you put metallics they're sure to shine! For this post, we've focused on silver-hued metallic furniture and accessories:

1) Pair of 1970s chrome column lamps
This pair of column lamps gets its metallic shine from the material chrome. Minimal but heavy, these two pieces would give a very masculine feel to a table top, as well as reflect a lot of light!
Price: $1,800
Dealer: Andrew Spindler Antiques

2) Pair of Italian chrome starburst chandeliers
Another lighting fixture made of the chrome material, these chandeliers also have a dynamic shape going for them. With each spherical piece reflecting the light it gives off, this is poised to become a major focal point in a dining space or other room. From the Las Vegas Maxim hotel, rock star Lenny Kravitz apparently has a few of these in his Miami residence.
