I bought this mirror to bring a little bit of glam and sparkle to my foyer. The picture shows a nice silver finish, but the actual frame is heavily tarnished/distressed. My sister described it as looking rusted. I would say that at least half of the surface area is gold or rust colored, and only about half is silvery. Also, this is less important to me, but the curves of the frame in the pictures looked to me like they were concave. In person, they're convex.
