NOTE: The thin stem portion is black!  And the square plate, plus the cute little rosebud portion under the globe, is brass/gold color. So this is a TWO-TONE fixture. I somehow completely missed this from the photo online, even though now I completely see it!  Indeed, this sconce is so cool and unique and well-priced. I wish it were just one tone! (I already have a brushed nickel faucet, so now the powder room will look mish-mashy.) I think I will keep it, though, because I am too lazy to shop for another sconce and this one really does have a pretty shape.
