This is a pretty piece, but the color...oh the color. It's so blah! I wouldn't call it "antique gold." It doesn't have any of the metallic shine in the photo, nor does it have the warm, coppery, antique gold look of the photo. It's tan with a TINY amount of sheen. (In fact, it looks shinier in the picture I'm posting than it really is.) I'm going to try to lightly paint it with a gold metallic paint or gold leaf because it could be a really pretty conversation piece.

As advertised - nice size, construction. Good packing for shipment without damage.
