I love this mirror!!  I needed a big statement piece for my dining room and I came across this one. I love the gold color against the dark walls. I would not call it copper but not a brown gold either. With that being said I read all of the reviews and the pictures and it is true to the pictures color. I don’t find it putrid. I’m just the right place it is beautiful. I bought mine a couple years ago when is was alto less… everyone that enters my house loves it also!
