Just hung this in new powder room with dark granite and bronze glass vessel sink and it looks amazing. Used 75 watt bulb but could have gone to 100 - not needed, plenty of light. Metal spiral and ceiling plate have a mottled metallic finish that looks antiqued but very modern at the same time. Glass has a little swirl in it. Has a nice heavy feel. Easy to install. I added a 10" "dark bronze" ceiling medallion to give more presence to the ceiling plate.
