The Vintage Brass Decor To Snag At The Thrift Store That Looks Stunning In Any Room

With all the interesting treasures you can find in a thrift store, it can be easy to get caught up in the chaos of the cluttered shelves. But someone with an eye for versatile thrifting decor pieces would know to be on the hunt for brass display easels. These brass pieces are an affordable thrift store find that can make adorable vintage decor. While originally used for displaying photos or art, they can be utilized in a variety of ways to add a touch of stunning drama to any room. Thrifting for vintage brass display easels also has the added benefit of potentially finding them at bargain prices, depending on the size and the store.

While it can often be difficult to spot authentic brass pieces at the thrift store, a simple test that you can do is to bring a magnet and check if it sticks. If you've found an authentic brass display easel, a magnet will not stick to it. It should also feel heavy if it's genuine brass. Another feature that can also help you identify an authentic vintage brass easel is a patina. This golden metal will often have a green or brownish, antiqued look as it ages. A patina is not only a great indicator of authenticity, but it is also something that makes a piece like this perfect for vintage-inspired decor. They also often have elaborate scrollwork and intricate designs that make them stand out no matter how you decide to use them in your interior design.

There are many creative ways you can use a vintage brass display easel in your home decor. The simplest and most obvious way would be to use it as a display for art or a framed photo. But the location you choose in your home and how you use it can really level up your design. The beauty of brass is that, when it is vintage or antique, its patina makes it easier to use as a decor piece with a broader variety of design styles.

Choose a small, simple painting of flowers and place it on the easel in your bathroom for a touch of elegance. Use it as a mirror stand for a dressing table or dresser, and you have a stunning yet functional piece. If you want to be more creative, you can say goodbye to clutter by using this vintage thrift store find to organize your countertop or a bedroom nightstand as a phone or e-reader holder.

A vintage brass easel would also make a wonderfully stylish cookbook holder for the kitchen, or a creative way to display your favorite sheet music books in a music room. If you have a cozy gaming setup in your office, you may want to use a vintage brass easel as your handheld gaming console stand to add a bit of flair. The best thing about this lovely thrift find is that it is just as functional as it is beautiful. You are truly only limited by your imagination when it comes to deciding how to style a vintage brass display easel as decor.
