Appreciating Shiny Things
“All that glitters in not gold” is a well known saying and of course is true. Despite this truism, it is worth remembering that other metals and materials have their own shiny and appealing character even though they do not command the monetary value of gold.
Antique copper has a beautiful pinkish glow under soft lighting. Brass and patinated bronze can reveal lovely reflections and show interesting highlights. Glassware and lustre-glazed china produce delightful shiny effects. Silver has an unique charm which seems to improve with age.
Appreciating shiny things is a pleasure to all and we at Affleck Bridge Antiques have in stock a good selecion of pieces worthy of reflection.
