An Old Brassy Style Gets A New Shine In Interior Design

 

If your taste in metal-finished goods runs as deep as a hammered copper imperial pint mug, you’re in luck.

The new Williams-Sonoma location at Ponce City Market has that item in stock and much more in a copper collection that’s just one component of a sizable home store.

“City Lights” contributor Betsy Riley said that’s a reflection of the comeback copper is making in the interior design world.

But this isn’t like the blindingly shiny brass from another generation, the “beige and turquoise” one might find in a Molly Ringwald movie, Riley said.

The pint mug on display at Williams-Sonoma is part of a copper kitchen aid stand that Riley says “looks like a sculpture. It’s just beautiful.”
