We are Extremely happy with the look of these sconces. We purchased 4 for our new master bath. They have not been installed yet, but the English bronze is a great color. Not quite black, but not as red as oil rubbed bronze either. Sort of a n Espresso color. They are sturdy and seem to be a very good quality light. All 4 came in perfect condition. We purchased on sale, so the price could not be beaten anywhere else we looked. Can't wait to see them on the wall!
