Adorable lamps, just love them!  The color looks more like an aged copper, so it's kind of greenish-blue with bronze/golden brown in the rubbed off areas.  Love the slim profile, it was exactly what I was looking for on our dining room buffet.  Leaves plenty of room for dishes, etc.  The pull chain makes it look even cuter too.  Someone else mentioned the chain not hanging down so you could see it....which means the shade was put on upside down.  You can use a regular candelabra bulb.  They were packaged super efficiently!  And were VERY easy to put together....just screw 3 pieces together that form the base and pop on the shade, that's it.  Definitely recommend.
