I absolutely love these sconces -- they look a little more gold than "brass," per se, but it is going to go well in our Master Bath. Though we haven't installed them yet (that's why I put 4 out of 5 stars), I can't wait to see what they will add to the room! We're renovating a circa 1870 home, so it might be a month before they go in -- but I think they'll work perfectly. Can't wait!
