This is a heavy mirror!  We bought it when we returned some mirrors to another vendor that were not quality.  We really think this mirror IS quality.  It is heavy enough that we needed some pretty hefty wall anchors to hang it.  The color of the frame is not silver but in that family -- a champagne.  I kind of mix all kinds of metals so everything goes -- but the champagne especially mixes well.  It was treated with some type of patina.
