The chandeliers here are built in brass or finished in bronze as a main part of the design, which is different from a gold-coloured coating on a steel frame. Ask two things of any brass piece: is the structure solid or plated, and will the finish be lacquered or left to age? Unlacquered brass changes colour with handling, and hand-patinated brass explains why two identical fittings can look nothing alike.
Bronze finishes sit darker and softer than brass and tend to suit oak, stone and darker paint. Polished brass suits plain white plaster, where its reflections show.
