Whether bronze, copper, gold, silver or nickel, metallics have been giving our homes glitz and glamour for years! Of course, trends come and go and some metallics fall in and out of favour, but today all metallics have a place in our homes and mixing metals is the norm. What’s more, we’ve taken metallics beyond the realm of accents and accessories and made them mainstream. Take, for example, Caracole Classic. These absolutely gorgeous pieces make metallic the focus – in chair legs, table bases, finishes, trim and much more. Have a look at some of the pieces we’ve featured here – which have just arrived at our Stoney Creek flagship store.
Caracole Styling
Streamlined proportions, clean lines, slender legs and geometric bases – these are among the key features of Caracole. This simplicity provides a neutral foundation for lavish fabrics and texture, striking finishes and unexpected metallic features. The combination is nothing short of stunning. Old world charm meets new world sensibility in every aspect of this line. Enduring quality is evident in the craftsmanship – the Caracole you buy today will become tomorrow’s cherished antiques.
Details
What makes Caracole so unique is the attention to detail. At a glance it’s feminine, but look closer and you’ll see a richness and solidity that is definitely masculine. Look for extraordinary detail like gold and silver leaf, Swarovski crystals, tufting, lined drawers (including cork) and glass-like acrylic legs. Often whimsical, the effect is always enchanting.
Wood and Finishes
There’s nothing run of the mill about Caracole. Many pieces are constructed of classic woods like mahogany, others of rare and unique veneers like eucalyptus and tiger maple. Whatever the finish, the result is always remarkable and one-of-a-kind.
Fabrics
If upholstery is the fashion of furnishings, then Caracole is a trend setter! Caracole adorns its pieces with luxurious fabrics like velvet, leather and linen, marrying comfort and beauty perfectly.
Don’t Forget the Sparkle
The hallmark of Caracole is a touch of glamour, sparkle and shine. Never over the top, it’s always in balance and harmony with the character of the piece. Gold bullion is a preferred Caracole metallic, playing tribute to the brass of bygone years but with a modern subtlety.
The Caracole Classic Collection truly must be seen and felt to be appreciated! We are proud to be the exclusive retailer of Caracole in the Hamilton area and the Collection has arrived at our Stoney Creek Flagship store. Hope to see you soon.
