If you want real brass then don't buy this Barry 5 light chandelier, it is brass effect and has a green tinge with black accents on the scrolls.  The colour on the website is an untrue representation of the actual colour. I purchased 2 of these and although the build quality is good the finish is not what I was expecting. My electrician fitted these so I could not return them. My mistake. I am currently looking for new (solid brass) light fittings to replace these.
