This mirror is absolutely beautiful, and very high quality.  I was worried about the finish, since it was hard to see in the pictures, but it's exactly what I was hoping for.  I would describe it as a cross between antiqued silver and wrought iron.  Darker than antiqued silver, but more shiny than iron.  Like if you took a piece of silver or steel and aged it with a dark metal finish, if that makes sense.  Definitely silver and dark charcoal/black tones, rather than brown or rust colored.  Highly recommend!
