Mulled over these for a while …I purchased the silver.
But they are exactly as they look! They are going in the guestroom, but not over the bed ,on a side wall. Purchased an  upholstered headboard from Wayfair in a silver grey velvet with silver upholstery tacks.
So this looks amazing with that!
Yes, ￼they do sparkle in most lighting!
Which is very pleasing and pleasant.￼
Would look great on either a light grey wall or a dark wall as they have both colors in the art!
I’m so pleased I decided on them. I would definitely recommend, and I would buy them again .
