I wish these were silver! They are closer to a dark gold colour with black under tones. To get an idea of the actual colour look at the forth image (the mirrors on an angle). The wood is a bit more rustic than I has anticipated too (which I could overlook if they were silver). Another important thing to note is the glass is not clear, it has an antiqued finished. Sort of like smoked glass, which is another thing I wasn't thrilled about. Not sure if I will keep them. I could paint them with real silver leaf so they look more like the second picture in the product description, not sure it is worth the effort. I'm a bit disappointed because they look very nice otherwise.
