At 1stDibs, there are many versions of the ideal silver cocktail stirrer for your home. Frequently made of
metal,
silver and
plastic, every silver cocktail stirrer was constructed with great care. Whether you’re looking for an older or newer silver cocktail stirrer, there are earlier versions available from the 20th Century and newer variations made as recently as the 20th Century. A silver cocktail stirrer, designed in the
Mid-Century Modern,
Art Deco or
Arts and Crafts style, is generally a popular piece of furniture. Many designers have produced at least one well-made silver cocktail stirrer over the years, but those crafted by
Bimini Glass,
Dorothy Thorpe and
Alvin Corporation are often thought to be among the most beautiful.
Prices for a silver cocktail stirrer can differ depending upon size, time period and other attributes — at 1stDibs, they begin at $80 and can go as high as $5,600, while the average can fetch as much as $475.
Whether it’s streamlined or sophisticated, a bar area is always a welcoming feature in any home interior. A cheery well-made drink with friends and family has the potential to yield some unforgettable moments alongside those that aren’t easily remembered. And the only way to conjure that exemplary cordial is by putting the proper antique or vintage barware to work.
Essential barware equipment ranges from sterling-silver barspoons for mixing your cocktails in tall collins glasses to jiggers, shakers and strainers that allow you to whip up martinis and old-fashioneds.
From a design standpoint, some barware, such as our array of Art Deco glass whiskey sets or mid-century modern silver-banded tumblers crafted by Dorothy Thorpe, can help position your bar as a bold and attractive centerpiece to a room. At the very least, a carefully curated collection of barware can elevate with subtlety the bar’s nearby fixtures, as a handcrafted crystal decanter might do for your vintage 1960s bar cart.
