From the shiny silvery furniture of the 1930s to a mainstay of midcentury modern style and a touchstone of the Y2K era, chrome is one of those enduring finishes that everyone can relate to in some way.

Decorative details elevate an intricate design by adding a little extra zhuzh that nudges it into the luxury category.
